On October 10, 2007, McIver was arrested at his South Seattle home on domestic-violence charges following an altercation that occurred with his wife early that morning. [1] McIver stated that he "was probably drunk" when he "grabbed his wife's throat and arm repeatedly while he went on a profane tirade yelling at her," according to the police report. [2]
McIver's wife, Marlaina Kiner-McIver, was in court and said she was not afraid of her husband. "I believe we have some work we have to do for our marriage, but I'm not afraid of him and I don't believe an incident like this will ever happen again," Kiner-McIver said. McIver was released on personal recognizance under conditions that he abides by a court order barring contact between him and his wife, and that he refrain from alcohol and surrender his concealed weapons permit and personal firearms. [3] McIver was formally charged October 17, 2007 with fourth degree assault, a domestic violence charge. At the hearing, his wife "acknowledged calling 911 and hanging up because of concerns about her husband's political career" [4]
Charges were subsequently dropped as his wife refused to testify and insufficient admissible evidence to continue to prosecute the case.
McIver more recently was accused by Seattle's Ethics office of violating the city's conflict-of-interest law by awarding a $37,000 no-bid contract to a company affiliated with a longtime friend who has hosted the councilmember's annual vacations to a Virgin Islands condominium. McIver stated that he had "declined to pay a settlement penalty presented by the Ethics and Elections Commission executive director and [he] intend to vigorously challenge these baseless charges. " [5]
