Alabama City Commissioner Arrested After ‘Attack’ On Reporter (Video)

It must be very fatiguing to be a politician. Everyone hates you, media is always sticking a microphone in your face and you always have to keep up appearances. 

Bummer for Dothan, Alabama city Commissioner Amos Newsome, who lost his cool and threw an old man punch at a reporter. Newsome has been connected to some voter fraud investigations that have surfaced recently, and citizens of Dothan have been asking for his resignation. Reporter Ken Curtis attempted to ask the Commissioner if he had any plans to announce his resignation, but was instead punched with a strange, nails out, flat hand arm thrust to the face. Shortly thereafter, Newsome was arrested for assault and taken to jail.

It’s uncertain whether or not this attack will help his poor polling numbers.
