The 73-year-old brother of Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid has been arrested after allegedly driving drunk and fighting with police officers.
Larry Reid was arrested after being found in a parked Lexus SUV in the dirt median of a state highway in southern Nevada, the state his brother represents.
He faces misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence, battery on an officer and possession of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol. He was also cited for not wearing a seat belt.
He was released after spending the night in Clark Country Jail.
Reid and his car were on a stretch of U.S. 95 inside the Boulder City limits, about 25 miles southeast of Las Vegas.
Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Loy Hixson said the car, which the trooper on the scene originally believed to be broken down, but on closer inspection found Reid inside.
The details of Reid's arrest were not immediately available - including why he was charged with battering an officer and how he sustained injuries to his face.

How could he be cited for not wearing a seatbelt if he had parked his car?
God works in mysterious ways doesn’t he. I think Harry may be getting punished for the evil he has done to the American People finally...
I think if the keys are in the ignition, maybe?...
How can you be driving when you're asleep ?
The law is a tyrant and is designed to get you / keep you, subservient and costs a lot of money.
Almost sprayed my morning coffee all across the screen.
“Larry” Reid........
Made me think of the three stooges, Harry, Larry and ?
Do they also have a “Barry”? “Harry, Larry and Barry” has a nice ring to it.
Maybe Harry’s raging-drunk hothead brother is the one who broke his face on New Year’s Eve.
“How can you be driving when you’re asleep ?”
Transported there by aliens?
All of this...and he only faces misdemeanor charges?
His two other brothers are Darryl and Darryl.
He has charges of driving under the influence, battery on an officer and possession of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol...... AND THAT ENTAILS A FREAKIN’ MISEMEANOR? He must know somebody. Oh..... wait.... never mind.
Ha!
“....Sen. Reid’s Office released the following statement:
“Larry Reid is Senator Reid’s brother and this is a private matter.”

Misdemeanor charges for “battery on a police officer”??? Don’t try that in Texas.
Toss him in jail with Obama’s sons.
Harry Reid’s younger brother…73. jeez.
How would that apply to modern cars, where you just carry the key in your pocket?
Don't know about seat belt laws but I know... um, I mean I have heard that it applies to DWI laws. No matter if you're parked, if the keys are in the ignition, you are considered driving.
If you've ever been near Searchlight Nevada, Reid's home town, you would know that the highlight of the town is the fact that it's a T-Shaped junction of two highways ... and that's about it. Plenty of "safe" parking space around for drunks.
Message in this is that Harry's influence inside Nevada is slipping badly.
Maybe larry whupped Harry. :-)
