Few Los Angles politicians can avoid controversy, and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is no different. His staff mambers are now in need of a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney due to an altercation that took place at a night club. The staff member and her husband were out on bail after they allegedly attacked at least one police officer in downtown following a domestic altercation between the couple. Blanca Martinez-Navarro, who is the Rampart program manager for the mayor's gang reduction and youth development office, was booked on suspicion of assault on a polic officer. She posted $20,000 bail and was released. Her husband, 29 year old Oscar Navarro, was arrested on similar charges. He posted $20,00 bail as well and was released 20 minutes afer his wife. Both of the individuals are due in court on Februrary 17.

The press secretary at Mayor Villaraigosa's office said that both of the person who worked for the mayor was placed on "administrative leave pending further investigation." The allegations arose after security guards made a call regarding a fight between the couple at the Conga Room in the L.A. Live complex in downtown Los Angeles. Once there, officers were "battered by her husband." And while taking the husband into custody, the wife jumped on the back of one of the officers and started to attack him according to one of the police officers. Any Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney will tell you that attacking a police officer, no matter how high up you are in the political world, will result in serious consequences. Emotions were likely running high due to the conflict between the two married people; however, assault a police officer will result in an arrest and possible jail time, no matter what the circumstances.
