Troubled Nevada Lawmaker Says He’s “Lucid”

Nevada assemblyman Steven Brooks (D) was released following a mental evaluation and allegations that he threatened a state Democratic Assembly leader and told the AP he’ll serve his elected office when the state Legislature convenes again next week.

Brooks “spoke non-stop for about three minutes when reached Friday by telephone… Then he hung up.”

He declared himself “lucid” and said he’s “no longer on medication.”
