The “That’s So Raven” star was arraigned in Lima Municipal Court, the Los Angeles Times reported. He was charged with aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor assault charge in Ohio.

Brown, 35, is being held on a cash bond, according to Allen County online court records. An attorney has not yet been appointed to represent him.

Original report: Brown was originally taken into custody on a charge of domestic violence by threat, Lima police officer Dylan Erdmann said, according to Deadline. At his arrangement on Friday, Brown’s charge was adjusted to misdemeanor aggravated menacing, Erdmann said.

According to an arrest report from the Lima Police Department, a person who claimed to be a relative of the actor told police that Brown had been “going crazy” inside a home and “came at him with a hammer and knife in a threatening manner, People reported.

According to the report, the relative told police that he believed that Brown “was going to assault him.”

In 2018, Brown got a large tattoo of “That’s So Raven” star Raven-Symoné on his neck and chest, People reported.

Later that year, Brown appeared on “The Dr. Phil Show” and addressed his struggles with addiction, mental health and homelessness, according to People.

In 2014, a woman told police that Brown threatened to kill her and her daughter, Entertainment Weekly reported. The actor agreed to a plea deal. He was later approved by bounty hunters in Las Vegas after he failed to appear for a court date.

Two years later, Brown was arrested after allegedly breaking into a Las Vegas restaurant, the entertainment news website reported. He served time in jail after pleading no contest.

Committee week in Florida’s Capitol: Welcome to the festival of ignorance

Image
Legislators came to town for the autumn ritual of political harlotry they call “committee week.” Tallahassee’s collective IQ dropped by a good 60 points. That’s bad, but what they propose doing to Florida is worse. Seems Sen. Joe Gruters, R-$ara$ota, who also is chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, was intimately involved with a plot to quash the Democratic vote. Remember that “ voting reform ” bill the governor signed on “Fox and Friends” last May? The one that restricts access to ballot drop-boxes, limits vote-by-mail applications, forbids giving people standing in long lines a bottle of water, and lets partisan poll watchers police canvassing boards? Even though Florida ran an immaculate election in 2020, Republicans goose-stepped in time with the Madman of Mar-a-Lago and claimed with straight faces they merely wanted to prevent election “fraud” — which is about as common as polar bears in Miami. (What fraud there was, was courtesy of the GOP .) Joe Gruters

Democratic governors press U.S. Senate to act on voting rights legislation

Image
WASHINGTON — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and 16 other Democratic governors are urging the U.S. Senate to pass two bills that aim to protect voting rights. Both measures need 60 votes to advance under Senate rules but have been stalled by Republican opposition in the evenly divided Senate. “Without decisive action by the federal government this year to protect voters’ access to the ballot and ensure the integrity and transparency of our elections, the voices of Americans across the country, especially Americans of color, will be suppressed,” the governors wrote in a Monday  letter  to U.S. Senate leadership. Governors who signed the letter include Jared Polis of Colorado, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Steve Sisolak of Nevada, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Kate Brown of Oregon, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and Tony Evers of Wisconsin, among others. One bill, known as the  John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2

U.S. House GOP would make it easier for feds to give public lands away to states

Image
U.S. House Republicans included in the new rules for the chamber they passed this month a provision meant to make it easier for Congress to give away public lands. The provision is a fairly technical piece of the 55-page  rules package . It affects internal House accounting and requires that anytime Congress were to give any federal lands to a state, municipality or tribe, it would not be counted as a loss to the federal budget. House Republicans had an identical rule when they controlled the chamber from 2017 to 2019. Advocates and critics agree the measure would be helpful to any effort by the House to transfer federal lands to states. But they disagree about the wisdom of such giveaways. Republicans and conservative groups see states as preferable stewards of most public lands. Those closest to the land are in a better position to make decisions on how to manage them than those in Washington bureaucracies, they say. Environmental groups and Democrats see federal divest
