ORIGINAL POST, SEPT. 5, 6:44 P.M.: Nadia Maria Davis Lockyer, the former Alameda County supervisor, estranged wife of state Treasurer Bill Lockyer and Santa Ana Unified School District trustee, has entered a Newport Beach drug rehab center after being charged with meth and child endangerment charges, according to the Orange County District Attorney's office (OCDA). Police received a tip that Lockyer and her son 9-year-old Diego were staying with a relative Aug. 28 in an Orange
home where there may be drugs, and officers arrived to find methamphetamine and an aluminum foil tube with a burned end, the OCDA reports.
[ADDED LINE:] She was not at the home at the time, but later returned.
The mother displayed signs of being under the influence, prosecutors add.
Lockyer was arrested on suspicion of felony methamphetamine possession and misdemeanors being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and child abuse. She already entered not guilty pleas to all the counts at arraignment Thursday and was released on her own recognizance to National Therapeutic Services, a drug rehab center at 4 San Joaquin Plaza, Newport Beach.
She is being represented in court by veteran lawyer Allan Stokke of Newport Beach and has a preliminary hearing scheduled Monday.
The California Treasurer's office released a statement saying, "Bill hopes Nadia has a successful recovery, and he also wants to make clear that Diego is living with him in the Bay Area and he's safe and sound."
The veteran 71-year-old politician cited "irreconcilable differences" in filing for divorce from his wife in July.
Bill Lockyer and Nadia Maria Davis Lockyer, California Democratic Power Couple, Split Up
The 41-year-old daughter of the late Santa Ana immigrant rights lawyer Wallace R. Davis won her Alameda County Board of Supervisors seat in November 2010 thanks largely to $1.5 million pumped into her campaign by her husband's own coffers.
A
month later, while battling a painkiller addiction spurred by injuries
she suffered in a traffic accident, Nadia Lockyer entered a
Kaiser outpatient rehab program. There she met Stephen Chikhani, a San Jose construction worker with a history of arrests for
methamphetamine use. They would go on to have a torrid love affair.
Any attempt to keep their trysts secret failed on Feb. 3, when police rolled up to a hotel where Mrs. Lockyer had been roughed up. She wound up being hospitalized for head and neck injuries after allegedly being beaten by Chikhani, who later claimed to have acted in self-defense.
Different members of the love triangle traded accusations in the media. Bill Lockyer claimed his wife had ended the relationship but Chikhani was still stalking her. Chikhani claimed it was still on and that he had made a sex tape with Nadia. Ms. Lockyer claimed Chikhani bashed her head into a stone and that her husband--the state's former attorney general--fed her drugs and suggested she kill herself.
