Democrat Candidate for NY State Senate Arrested for Stalking Ex-Girlfriend

Looks like this dude may have to put his political career on hold.
David Mejias, a former Nassau County legislator and current state senate candidate, was arrested on charges of stalking Wednesday night.

Mejias, a Democrat who served as a legislator representing Farmingdale from 2003 until he lost a bid for reelection in 2009, was allegedly following his 34-year-old ex-girlfriend Wednesday at noon as she was driving on Piping Rock Road in Matinecock. When the woman noticed she was being followed, detectives say Mejias passed her and abruptly stopped the vehicle, causing her to stop as well. Mejias then allegedly exited his vehicle and approached the victim yelling and screaming at her. When she drove away from the scene, Mejias continued to follow her. She was eventually able to give Mejias the slip and reported the incident to Nassau County police, who arrested Mejias later that evening.
Mejias is an attorney on Long Island who specializes in--wait for it--domestic violence.
As a legislator and in the practice of law, David has fought for the rights of victims of domestic violence. He has been recognized by the Coalition Against Domestic Violence for his efforts on their behalf.
Just another Democrat hypocrite.
