State Rep. Borris Miles Crashes a Party
Drama, drama drama! State Rep Borris Miles, D-Houston, is under investigation by the Harris County District Attorney's office after someone complained he showed up at a Houston party last month and brandished his gun, threatened some people and kissed another man's wife. Here's the Houston Chronicle:
According to witnesses, Miles entered a St. Regis Hotel ballroom uninvited, confronting guests, displaying a pistol and forcibly kissing another man's wife.You might recall Miles made news for another incident involving a gun. In July, Miles shot and wounded a thief who was attempting to steal copper from his home's AC unit. Miles wasn't charged.David Harris, who threw the party for his property management company, said he believes Miles, an insurance agent, was angry at him for investing in a rival business.
During their confrontation, Harris said Miles proclaimed himself a "gangster" and "thug," before kissing Harris on both cheeks and then the mouth. Miles then pulled out a gun and placed it in Harris' hand, witnesses said.
"He was acting as if there was some sort of symbolic power struggle, grabbing him by the face," said Nathaniel Rido, who attended the party.
Rido said Miles also kissed his wife, Krysynthia, before leaving, an act that still angers him.
"A public official, acting like that — I was disturbed," he said.
Miles also said at the party that he would "take down" U.S. Congressman Al Green, former local NAACP leader Howard Jefferson and Ben Hall, the city attorney under Mayor Bob Lanier. Hall is representing Harris.
