The woman said that Sen. Tom Wright was “aggressive” with her.
A report from the Daytona Beach Police Department says that Republican Florida state Sen. Tom Wright “aggressively” put his hand on a worker at a domestic violence shelter. Still, the politician has a different memory of what happened.
On Saturday afternoon, women who had been victims of domestic violence and their children got on a school bus for a field trip. Wright was on a tour with counselors from the Department of Children and Families and other state workers who work with domestic violence.
According to Fox 35, the incident report said that Wright was walking toward the bus as the driver was getting ready to leave.
“I’m sorry, sir. “You can’t get on the bus with the survivors and kids,” the woman told him. She also said to him that they needed to be safe and anonymous, and it was her job to protect them.
The report says that Wright told her he wouldn’t get on the bus and wouldn’t try to talk to the survivors. He told the bus driver that he wanted to speak to him.
