Wilfred M. Stark III was taken into custody on Tuesday after allegedly grabbing Kristin Davison by the arm and refusing to let go after bursting into a room where candidate Adam Laxalt was in the East Las Vegas Community Center during a campaign event
Stark, who worked for the George Soros-funded super PAC American Bridge 21st Century, allegedly twisted her arm behind her back and refused to let go, telling Laxalt: 'Adam, there's only one way you can make this stop
' He was detained by people at the scene and then was booked into county jail. Davison described how he charged at her and other members of Laxalt's team
She said she and Laxalt were in a room when Stark 'burst' in and lunged towards her
'We're used to trackers, but this guy was very physical—pushing me, pushing into members of my staff, screaming
'This man was physically, almost body-checking me. I was getting nervous for my safety, so we left, and went into an open room,' she told Fox News
They moved into a different room to get away from him but he followed them, she claimed, and burst open that door too once they had closed it
'Two male staffers were trying to hold him back. He was so aggressive, he looked like he was going to towards the candidate to physically harm him,' she said
Stark then allegedly grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. 'He twisted my arm, and contorted it behind my back
'I was scared. Every time I tried pulling away, he would grab tighter, and pull me closer into him,' she said
He pulled her head towards his chest, she went on, and ignored her as she screamed: 'You're hurting me!' Share this article Share Lark then told her boss: 'There's only one way you can make this stop,' she said, which 'really scared' her
Eventually they got him off of her and called the police. It is not the first time Lark has been arrested for similar antics
In March, he was accused of pushing the spokeswoman for Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke outside a congressional hearing
He has also been convicted of disorderly conduct in the past after blocking the start of the Annandale Chamber of Commerce Parade in October
After Tuesday's incident, Laxalt's campaign slammed him for his behavior. 'Assaulting the female campaign manager of the opposing campaign is disgusting and it has no place in our system
'This mob behavior from the left is out of control. Encouraging violence, as many prominent Democrats like former Attorney General Eric Holder have recently done, is having real, dangerous consequences,' Laxalt campaign spokesperson Parker Briden said
He was fired from American Bridge 21st Century on Wednesday evening.
