From NY Post:
A Democratic assemblyman has been accused of dabbling in drugs, alcohol and having a gaming addiction as his wife’s bombshell divorce documents were made public.
Joaquin Arambula, who is running to be a councilmember on Fresno City Council, is in a legal battle with Elizabeth Arambula, who filed for divorce in January and wrote a lengthy appeal for child custody.
Arambula’s wife, Elizabeth, claimed there were many days she drove him to work because he was under the influence, and that a government car sometimes drove him back home.
“For years, I have covered for Respondent’s struggles with alcohol, marijuana, and gaming, concealing them from our children, family, friends, and his professional circle,” Elizabeth Arambula said in court documents.
“On a typical day, he spent much of his time using his THC pen, drinking whiskey, playing games on his iPad, and taking a few meetings scattered throughout,” she wrote.
His wife also claims she has proof to support her allegations.
She is seeking spousal support for theit three children, aged 11, 14, and 15.
