I(anonymous) got a phone call from a man named Easton Elliott, a businessman who lives in the Las Vegas area, who told me what really happened to Harry Reid and how he received his black eye: Elliott spent a portion of last New Year’s Eve at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Henderson, Nevada, with about 20 other people.
Some time between 10:00 and 11:30 p.m., a man entered the meeting and introduced himself as “Larry.” He had blood on his clothing, his left hand was swollen and he appeared to be somewhat intoxicated and was visibly agitated.
In a group discussion, Larry said he had been at a family get-together, and had just had a fight with a family member, but didn’t remember much because he had blacked out. When he came to, he was rolling on the ground, fighting with a family member, and his clothes were bloody. Now, he said, he was frightened that the Secret Service would come after him.
Easton Elliott didn’t think much more about Larry until, several weeks later, he saw a newspaper story about Larry Reid, Harry Reid’s brother, being arrested for DUI and assaulting a highway patrolman. The story was accompanied by a photograph, and Elliott immediately recognized Larry Reid as the “Larry” who had attended the AA meeting on New Year’s Eve.
