A longtime ally of California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has been arrested and jailed on multiple felony domestic violence charges including allegations that he tried to smother a young child with a pillow.
Politico California, which broke the story on Thursday afternoon, reported that Nathan Ballard, 51, “was booked on Oct. 18 on two felony charges of willful cruelty to a child with possible injury and death, and domestic violence, according to documents on file with the Napa County Sheriff’s Office.”
