The Southwest Florida regional director for Republican Sen. Marco Rubio was arrested this weekend after his wife told deputies he rolled her up inside a rug and beat her after she pretended to pass out.
On Monday, two days after his arrest on a domestic violence battery charge, 39-year-old Michael J. Brennan of Bonita Springs resigned. But he disputes the allegations by his wife, Kelly, 34, a former real estate broker.
He submitted his letter of resignation this afternoon and we accepted it, Rubios press secretary, Alex Conant, said Monday, declining to say whether theyd asked him to resign.
Brennans defense attorney, Michelle Hill of Naples, said Brennan and a babysitter who was at their home will refute what his wife told Lee County sheriffs deputies. Hill said those who know him know the allegations are false.
