Rep. Matt Gaetz said he is pressing charges against a Florida woman who allegedly threw a drink at him over the weekend while he attended an event in his home district.
The Walton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Tuesday that Selena Chambers, 41, of Tallahassee, was charged with battery of an elected official, a felony, and simple battery, a misdemeanor, after throwing the drink at the Florida Republican and shouting obscenities at him.
Gaetz said the incident occurred while he and his wife were at the South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival on Saturday.
