Facing felony charge, Allen continues legislative work

By Joseph K. Cooper

LAS VEGAS-Despite a weekend arrest on charges of battery with a deadly weapon, Assemblywoman Francis Allen was back to work today, attending a meeting of the legislature's Information Technology Subcommittee in Las Vegas.

"She looked okay," said state Sen. Bob Coffin (D-Las Vegas).  "She didn't look like she had been through anything."

"She got there early and jumped right into it all.  She did ask questions and participated."

Allen arrested?!?

By Joseph K. Cooper

LAS VEGAS-Assemblywoman Francis Allen was arrested this weekend for stabbing her husband in the arm with a steak knife, according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department report. She was booked for one count of battery with a deadly weapon, one count of domestic violence and one count of battery domestic violence. The most serious charge holds a potential penalty of 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine of not more than $10,000.

Kudos to Jon Ralston who flashed about the incident about an hour ago.

Primary battle brewing for Francis Allen

By Joseph K. Cooper

LAS VEGAS-Once again this year, it appears that Assemblywoman Francis Allen (R-Las Vegas) will have to fend off a challenge from the right.  Richard McArthur, a retired FBI agent who ran against Allen in her first race in 2004, is challenging her again this year, arguing that he, and not Allen, is a true conservative.

"She's not conservative enough," said McArthur Thursday.  "She votes with the Democrats most of the time and she's had those other issues."
