Mo Brooks gets arrest warrant for man who served lawsuit on his wife

https://www.al.com/news/2021/06/mo-brooks-gets-arrest-warrant-for-man-who-served-lawsuit-on-his-wife.html

U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks said Wednesday his wife has sworn out an arrest warrant for the man who served a lawsuit at their Huntsville home on June 6.

The Brooks have said they would seek the warrant for misdemeanor criminal trespassing after the process server entered the garage as his wife was returning home.

Brooks’ wife, Martha, filed a police report immediately after the incident.

An attorney for Democratic California Congressman Eric Swalwell, who named Brooks as a defendant the lawsuit being served, has said there was nothing illegal or inappropriate about the service. In response, Brooks released the home security video of the process server appearing to enter the garage.

Is it legal to enter ones property (the land) and enter the garage?

It's pretty simple.

It's legal or it's not.

They're asking for a warrant. That doesn't mean they'll get it.

The case has been turned over to the Madison County district attorney’s office. DA Rob Broussard said last week that extradition would not be sought of Seklecki, who is based in Atlanta, given the nature of the charge. The warrant could be served, however, if Seklecki returned to Huntsville.

Some of them get dangerously close to getting their ass kicked. Why are you going in someone’s garage? Disrespectful as fuck.
