Suspended Native lawmaker Patrick Brazeau arrested yet again





Suspended Sen. Patrick Brazeau is in legal trouble again.

Authorities in Quebec charged Brazeau with assault, uttering death threats, cocaine possession and breach of bail conditions. He was arrested on Thursday at a home in Gatineau after an alleged disturbance there.

Brazeau already faces assault and sexual assault charges from a February, 2013 domestic incident at his home. He's also been charged with fraud and breach of trust in connection with his service in the Canadian Senate.
