Police Seeking Arrest Of State Lawmaker

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Philadelphia police say they’ve issued an arrest warrant for a state lawmaker for violating a restraining order. A police spokesperson said Tuesday that the agency was unable to discuss the details of the warrant for Rep. Kevin Boyle. The arrest wouldn’t be the first for Boyle, who was charged in 2021 with harassment and violation of a protection from abuse order after showing up at his wife’s house. His attorney at the time called it a “domestic issue” in which Boyle wasn’t accused of committing violence. Boyle has told of receiving treatment at a mental health facility and House Democratic leaders have said Boyle had “ongoing mental health challenges.” Neither Boyle nor his lawyer from the 2021 case immediately returned a telephone message Tuesday.
