WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The Delaware Senate will continue its ethics inquiry into Sen. Darius Brown despite a jury’s verdict acquitting him of domestic violence charges.
The ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Journal reports that the Senate Rules and Ethics Committee will review all allegations that have been leveled against the Wilmington Democrat.
Brown did not respond to a request for comment from the newspaper. A Senate spokesman said the ethics committee plans to convene later this month.
The charges stemmed from a May 2021 altercation at a Wilmington restaurant. Â A 44-year-old woman told officers that Brown punched her in the face after they began arguing about a social media post. Brown did not testify.
His lawyer argued that the woman lied to embarrass him.
