Kansas City, KS – Newly released court documents reveal details behind the arrest of a 21-year-old Kansas state lawmaker from KCK.

The 21-year-old Rep. Aaron Coleman (KS-37) is charged with domestic battery stemming from a fight October 30th with his 18-year-old brother. Documents show he pushed, hit and spit on his brother in the fight that erupted because the brother was going to get baptized.

The probable cause affidavit released Tuesday also states Coleman was “uncooperative” with police during the Oct. 30 fight.

Coleman has acknowledged past abuses against girls and young women.

Coleman took a temporary “leave of absence” earlier this month following a Johnson County district judge’s order that he undergo a mental health evaluation following his arrest and jailing.
