State Senator-elect Hiram Monserrate, a Queens Democrat, was arrested early Friday and accused of slashing his companion in the face with a broken drinking glass during an argument in his Jackson Heights apartment, the authorities said. He then drove her to a hospital outside the city, officials said, where she required 20 stitches.

Mr. Monserrate, 41, who is in his final days as a city councilman, was charged with second-degree assault, a felony that carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison, the police said. If Mr. Monserrate is convicted, state law requires that he be expelled from the Senate.

What really suprised me was they called his Girlfriend a "companion".  The press usually reserves that for when their referring to their gay lovers.

Why have code words, why not just call the gay male companion a rump ranger?

If he wants a companion, there are plenty of folks at Attica who will love to fill the bill.
