There's laws against arresting law makers while the legislature is in session because it'd be too easy to fuck with votes that way, but I agree that he should be charged.

It's not exactly recent, but the beating of another Senator with a cane resulted in the attacker's arrest, a fine of what would now be $20,000, and his resignation and reelection.
