Bedford Co. School Board member Matthew Holbrook to appear in court Wednesday

BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. (WSET) — On Wednesday afternoon, Bedcord County School Board member Matthew Holbrook will be in court facing assault charges.

The court date follows an incident in February when he punched a former tenant--a crime he admitted to and said he has no regrets about.

According to Holbrook, he was in the process of evicting the tenant when he discovered thousands of dollars worth of appliances and equipment were missing.

"Monday [February 6] was the day that the sheriff's office and I were going to remove him legally," Holbrook said. "I noticed that there was some other property missing. And the deputy had went and found the property as I went to retrieve it. I noticed that it was our property, and I assaulted the man and, of course, I was arrested then."

He was tired of waiting on the legal eviction process and said he had zero regrets--and that he'd do it again.

"Like I said, I'd had enough," Holbrook said. "And you know, I'd do the same thing if had to do it over again. If I'd have seen him stealing your property, I'd have done the same thing."

On Monday, he's due in Bedford County General District Court for an attorney advisement at 1:30 p.m.
