New details are coming out about the Kansas City area state rep. who’s now facing charges in Jefferson City after an incident last week. Anthony Ealy is accused of threatening a couple at a business on Capitol Avenue. Witnesses claim that Ealy appeared to be having a mental health crisis when he threatened to get a gun and shoot the man.
House leaders removed Ealy’s committee assignments last spring and say they won’t restore those assignments for the next session.
Ealy faces only misdemeanor charges.
