A democratic lawmaker from New Hampshire was arrested Thursday for domestic violence charges after he allegedly bit a woman on multiple occasions and forced his way into her locked home.

State Senator Jeff Woodburn, a Democrat from Whitefield, was charged with simple assault, domestic violence and criminal mischief after the state attorney general’s office said he allegedly slapped a woman, punched her in the stomach, bit her hand, and on another occasion, bit her forearm.

The incidents are said to have taken place this year and last year.

Woodburn, the state Senate minority leader, defended himself Thursday in a statement.

“This afternoon, I learned that a warrant had been issued for my arrest. I voluntarily responded to the police station, cooperated with law enforcement during the booking process, and was released,” he said. “I intend to fully address and defend against these charges in court.”

The New Hampshire Democratic Party urged him to resign, as did the state’s Democratic congressional delegation and members of the state Senate Democratic Caucus.

“The New Hampshire Democratic Party stands firm in our belief that any form of sexual harassment, sexual assault, or domestic violence is completely unacceptable behavior for anyone, let alone our public officials who should all be held to a higher standard,” said State Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley.

Republican Gov. Chris Sununu tweeted that the allegations were “morally reprehensible,” and also said Woodburn should step down.

Woodburn is set to be arraigned on August 20.

A fine representative indeed.

Tons-O-Fun keeping him from seeing his children?

Innocent until accused?

MSM slant............

Hard to call this one. I am not a big fan of delayed charges. If he was guilty of something, why wait in some cases a year to complain about it? Did he fail to do something she wanted recently? D or R not the issue. Guy was smart to turn himself in once he heard there was a warrant out for his arrest. Better off than the black tractor warrant serving choke hold incident. Maybe if he turns Republican Trump will endorse him.

It is so easy for some of us to quickly commend this man because he is a dem. I am with you on this(I think you are saying innocent until proven guilty), wait till the trial is over before passing judgement. I would also like to hear from all sides before I condemn the man. I know this sounds crazy but maybe there was a justifiable reason to hit and bite this woman if that is actually what he did.

If this was actually a clear case of domestic abuse, then lock him up and vote him out.

I think you meant condemn.

But I get your point, and it's valid.

I posted it only because of the positive ramifications it would have here in NH on the fall gov's race.

In my experience this is usually fine as long as you're willing to pay them extra, and let them know up front

Yes , warning is required . Even though he was a repeat customer warning and proper payment before the biting and getting inside the door first are proper etiquette .

Typical from a democrat. You'd never see a Republican doing this. They respect women.

That's because most democrats are baby killers, and it's not a very far leap from killing babies to beating women.

I think you could find a few RINOs at least, I suspect something like this about every male feminist whatever party they belong to.

Sometimes there is great truth in words uttered in jest.

Dad always said democrats are much worse than the anarchists . His line of thinking was when the anarchists blow something up you collect the insurance but the democrats just want to steal everything you have and you collect nothing in return .

Yeah, I don't get that, either and I don't like it but I have to admit, it makes my little black heart skip a beat when I see a politician get caught up in the system.
