Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin talks about the frightening moment while he was attacked at a campaign stop in upstate New York last week.The man who accosted Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin at a campaign event in western New York will be released from jail into an alcohol treatment program, a federal judge ruled.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian Payson agreed Wednesday to allow David Jakubonis to enter a treatment program administered by the Veterans Administration. He will then be transferred to a halfway house operated by an organization that assists troubled veterans. The attack on Zeldin, a Congress member from Long Island who is challenging Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, occurred July 21 at a campaign rally near Rochester.
A video of the incident shows Jakubonis raised his arm toward Zeldin while holding a keychain with two sharp points. "You’re done," Jakubonis said four times as he approached Zeldin.Attorneys for Jakubonis, an Army veteran, have said their client was drunk and was only reaching for Zeldin’s microphone to stop him from talking.
"Mr. Jakubonis, if he is drinking, does have a problem holding his liquor," defense attorney Steven Slawinski said at a detention hearing, adding that Jakubonis has been prescribed psychiatric medication that can interact poorly with alcohol.
