Jeff Woodburn has been arrested for domestic violence charges after he allegedly bit a woman on multiple occasions and forced his way into her locked home.
The Democratic Senator and New Hampshire lawmaker was charged with simple assault, domestic violence and criminal mischief after the state attorney general’s office said he allegedly slapped a woman, punched her in the stomach, bit her hand, and on another occasion, bit her forearm.
The incidents are said to have taken place this year and last year. Woodburn, the state Senate minority leader, defended himself Thursday in a statement. “This afternoon, I learned that a warrant had been issued for my arrest. I voluntarily responded to the police station, cooperated with law enforcement during the booking process, and was released. I intend to fully address and defend against these charges in court,” he said.
The New Hampshire Democratic Party has urged Woodburn to resign, as did the state’s Democratic congressional delegation and members of the state Senate Democratic Caucus.
“The New Hampshire Democratic Party stands firm in our belief that any form of sexual harassment, sexual assault, or domestic violence is completely unacceptable behavior for anyone, let alone our public officials who should all be held to a higher standard,” said State Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley.
