Dave Mejias's hopes of becoming a state senator dimmed on Wednesday evening when he was arrested by Nassau County Police. Nassau police said Mejias is in custody at the Woodbury-based Second Precinct where he will be detained overnight, in a case in which domestic abuse is alleged.
Mejias was arrested following an incident involving an ex-girlfriend at noon on Wednesday. Mejias was charged with Menancing 2nd Degree, Stalking 3rd Degree and Reckless Endangerment 2nd Degree, police said. He was arraigned today in First District Court, Hempstead.
Nassau County and state Democratic chairman Jay Jacobs declined to comment on the arrest, as did a spokesperson for Mejias.
A spokesman for Francesca Carlow, the leading democratic candidate for state senate in the 6th district, expressed concern for the victim and her family and confidence in our criminal justice system.
