Jalisi is accused of assault in a domestic violence complaint filed by his college-aged daughter last week. Police have not charged him with a crime.
But there is a domestic violence protective order against him, first reported by the Daily Record, and he is expected to appear in court Monday.
The Joint Committee on Legislative Ethics issued a searing report Monday night on Del. Hasan M. “Jay” Jalisi (D-Baltimore County), detailing five years’ worth of incidents in which the second-term lawmaker was verbally abusive to his office staff and central General Assembly staffers. Jalisi, the report said, created a “toxic” work environment and ignored repeated requests from House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne Arundel) and other top lawmakers to temper his behavior and take anger management and workplace civility courses.
