NEW: Rep. Medina Arrested

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

 

Embattled State Rep. Leo Medina this morning was arrested on eight misdemeanor counts of unauthorized practice of law.

Medina is accused of acting as a lawyer without a license and taking money for services he never actually delivered.

Medina is still facing felony charges after allegedly stealing nearly $30,000 from a friend’s daughter’s life insurance policy.

The first-term Rep. is running for re-election, but faces a Democratic primary against former Rep. Joseph Almeida.

About time. If he had a R after his name, this would have happened long ago. Will he step down? Again, not without the R.

See a Big Ass smile on Joe Almedia's face. And it didn't even have to cost him a reach around from Taveras, or did it. What do you think Frank? Politicians are all bitches.

I wonder if he will represent himself in the proceedings...

Sad that this guy takes advantage of those that probably hold him in very high regard. Guess thats what it takes to be a democrat in Providence. Medina see, Medina do.
