Grand Bassa County Senator Nathaniel Innis has confirmed a Writ of Arrest against him in connection with the beating of his niece.
Senator Innis said the writ of arrest is to be served on him at any time by the Magisterial Court at the Temple of Justice.
The Grand Bassa Senator made the disclosure Thursday in a communication to the Senate drawing the body’s attention on the writ of arrest.
Senator Innis in his letter sought an advice from the Senate in the event where he is served the writ of arrest.
During a discussion of the letter some Senators called on the Grand Bassa lawmaker to brief the body on his action which warranted the writ of arrest.
Other Senators argued that it was against the Constitution for an arrest warrant to be served on a lawmaker on the charge of simple assault.
Senator Innis could not explain his action in public, prompting a secret session of the Upper House to discuss the letter.
