SANTA FE - House leaders are hoping to avoid another scuffle between absent lawmakers and police sent to bring them back to the Capitol for required votes.
State Police, responding to the request that all representatives return to the House, met Rep. Bengie Regensberg at his hotel, and a scuffle ensued.
Officers said Regensberg wouldn't come peacefully. But Regensberg said he was treated harshly by the officers and is now popping painkillers to alleviate the throbbing in his right arm.
Regensberg was back at the Capitol today, his right arm wrapped in a bandage. He said his arm was fractured in two places, the wrist and the thumb.
