Rep. Bob Filner Charged With Assault on Virginia Airport Worker
WASHINGTON — California Rep. Bob Filner was facing charges Monday for allegedly assaulting an airline worker at Dulles International Airport after becoming upset that his luggage had not arrived at a baggage carousel.
Filner, 64, is slated to appear in Loudoun County, Va., General District Court on Oct. 2. Court officials could not say whether the San Diego Democrat had been served the summons yet to show up on that date.
According to law enforcement officials, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police were called to the United Airlines baggage claim office at about 6 p.m. Sunday evening for a report of an incident with a passenger regarding his baggage.
"The individual allegedly attempted to enter an area authorized for airline employees only, pushed aside the employees outstretched arm and refused to leave the area when asked by an airline employee," according to airport police.
"When MWAA officers arrived a few minutes later, the man had left the office and was waiting in the area of a bag carousel. Officers interviewed him and witnesses and released him. Before the individual left the airport, officers advised him that the airline employee would be pursuing charges," the police statement reads
The statement says the airport worker filed assault and battery charges, a class 1 misdemeanor.

Now ill bet Republicans wont force him to resign or call for his resignation. But when A republican breaks the law they force him or her to step down like Trent Lott and Tom Delay. Remember Gary Condict murder Chanda Leavy? They didnt force him to resign. Remember Cindy McKinnley assault a police officer and didnt get arrested ? And They didnt force her to resign. Remember Patrick Kennedy who commited a DWI and police didnt give him a sobriety test? and They didnt force him to resign. It seems everytime a democrat gets caught in a scandal or break the laws no penalty given to them.But when a Republican does this sort of act he or she gets the ax!
