She said Nuru had approached the other man, who was eating potato chips, with what she believed to be a kitchen knife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The man then called the police because he felt threatened. While the exact nature of the incident remains unclear, \u201csources\u201d reportedly told ABC-7 that Nuru wanted to steal a bag of chips but then said he was joking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The arrest is Nuru\u2019s latest run-in with law enforcement. Last year, Nuru was charged with fraud in connection with a public corruption scandal. However, he stayed on paid administrative leave and kept his job for another two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor London Breed, a Democrat, said Nuru couldn\u2019t be fired due to California law, which bars employers from letting someone go because they\u2019ve been arrested, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/bayarea\/article\/SF-corruption-case-Nuru-resigns-in-wake-of-fraud-15045211.php\">according<\/a> to the San Francisco Chronicle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I understand the desire for him to be fired immediately, it\u2019s important that we follow all the laws required to terminate a public employee, no matter the circumstances. Before this process had been completed, he submitted his resignation,\u201d she said, reports the Chronicle. \u201cI will continue to support the full independent investigation underway to uncover any improper actions that were taken and recommend reforms to ensure they never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in February, the owner of a recycling business was sentenced to one year in prison for bribing Nuru with a $36,000 Rolex watch and lying to the FBI. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com\/2021\/02\/11\/sf-corruption-scandal-contractor-florence-kong-prison-bribery-mohammed-nuru-rolex-watch\/\">CBS-SF<\/a>, prosecutors have argued that Nuru received hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bribes from various people, including the recycling business owner, who was contacted with the city of San Francisco to clean up construction waste.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
