Nev. Gov. Candidate Investigated for Assault
Republican Rep. Jim Gibbons, running for the governor's seat in Nevada, can't be happy to learn that the police have reopened an investigation into his allegedly assaultive behavior.
[Chrissy] Mazzeo, a Las Vegas Strip casino waitress, accused Gibbons, 61, of pushing her up against a wall Oct. 13 and propositioning her. Mazzeo, 32, said she had been pressured and offered cash from people linked to the Gibbons campaign to drop the charges.
Gibbons claims a videotape will prove his innocence, and is trying to get it released for public viewing.
