Mills was stopped by park police while driving at night with his
lights off. The 65-year-old representative, an influential
congressman and married man, was visibly intoxicated, his face was
scratched, and his companion, 38-year-old Annabell Battistella, had
bruised eyes. Battistella then proceeded to jump into the Tidal
Basin near the Jefferson Memorial and had to be pulled out by the
police. She was later identified as a popular stripper who went by
the names “Fanne Foxe” and the “Argentine Firecracker.”

At first, Mills denied all the allegations but later admitted he had
joined a party Battistella was present at after “a few
refreshments.” Mills was subsequently reelected to Congress, but
because of the escalating scandal, he was forced to retire his
chairmanship and later announced that he would not run for
reelection.
