A northern New Mexico city councilor is facing aggravated battery and assault charges after deputies say he pistol whipped a man and shot at his vehicle.
KOB-TV reports that the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office arrested Espanola city councilor Eric Radosevich this week in connection with a bizarre Saturday altercation.
According to authorities, 43-year-old Radosevich got into an argument with a man at a gas station after Radosevich approached the man's wife.
Deputies say Radosevich later followed the man to the Roadrunner Cafe in Pojoaque and struck him several times with a black handgun. Authorities say he also fired two rounds toward the victim's truck.
It was not known if Radosevich had an attorney.
