An Enfield attorney and former state representative has been suspended from practicing law in Connecticut for one year after he was charged with assaulting his mother at the family home in March.

Solo practitioner David J. Alexander, who has since moved to Arizona, had been charged with assaulting his father in a separate altercation in 2016. In the latest incident, Enfield police arrested him on charges of second-degree assault on an elderly victim, a felony, and disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, in connection with an alleged drunken encounter with his mother.
