Barvetta Singletary
A White House staffer reportedly so suspicious of her boyfriend’s fidelity she allegedly fired a gun in his direction has been indicted on assault charges.
Barvetta Singletary, 37, texted her boyfriend, who works for the U.S. Capitol Police, and asked him to come to her suburban Maryland home, where she then accused him of cheating on her with another woman, police said, the Hill reported.
She then allegedly took her boyfriend’s gun and cell phone and demanded to know his password, ostensibly to check his calling and texting history. And then she allegedly fixed the gun’s barrel on him, the Hill reported.
“You taught me how to use this. Don’t think I won’t use it,” she allegedly said, right before firing a shot into a can of soda about 10 feet from her, Fox News said.
The boyfriend, who wasn’t publicly named, fled the scene and called police.
The widely reported incident occurred Aug. 7, but she was just indicted this week.
Singletary served as a special assistant to President Obama and touted the White House title of House legislative liaison. She was formally charged with domestic violence, Fox News reported.
Prior, she worked as deputy chief of staff and policy director for Rep. James Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House. She moved to her White House position in 2014.
The White House, through a spokesman, said at the time of her arrest, the Hill reported: “We are aware of the matter and have temporarily placed the employee in question on unpaid leave and revoked her access to the [White House] complex.”
