HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Philadelphia police said Tuesday that they issued an arrest warrant for a state lawmaker for violating a restraining order.
A police spokesperson said the agency was unable to discuss the details of the warrant issued for Rep. Kevin Boyle.
The arrest wouldn’t be the first for Boyle, a Philadelphia Democrat who was charged in 2021 with harassment and violation of a protection from abuse order after showing up at his wife’s house. His attorney at the time called it a “domestic issue” in which Boyle was not accused of committing violence.
Neither Boyle nor his lawyer from the 2021 case immediately returned a telephone message Tuesday evening. The charges were dropped, and Boyle told constituents in a letter in 2022 that subsequent treatment at a mental health facility helped save his life, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
