NYPD took state Assemblyman Eddie Gibbs into custody after a car stop in East Harlem. Details on the reason for the arrest remain unclear.
Gibbs's past includes over three years in prison for manslaughter as a teenager, a case he argued was self-defense during a home robbery attempt.
In July, horror stories emerged regarding Gibbs's behavior as he faced a health crisis, having lost a leg, and accused of unlawfully terminating an employee.
Gibbs's legal troubles trace back to his well-documented prison time, making his political journey significant as the first formerly incarcerated individual to be elected.
