Last week, Carey had been seeking a piece of legislation, and he approached Parker ahead of the meeting and asked for his support.
Specifically, Carey has been calling for a change in state developmental disabilities systems. Carey’s son died in 2007 while he was being cared for by the state.
Carey allegedly tried to explain the situation to Parker ahead of the meeting, to which the latter yelled back, "I don’t care," the lobbyist claimed.
The two men were standing about 15 feet away when Carey questioned Parker, saying, "You don't care my son died?"
Parker, for a second time, said, "I don't care," Carey said.
Carey then claims he turned around to the others in the room and said, "You heard it, everybody. He doesn't care."
The next thing Carey knew, Parker was allegedly in his face.

Last year, Parker was accused in a lawsuit of raping a woman early in his legislative career, when he went to her home to discuss disaster relief efforts for Haiti.
In 2005, Parker was arrested and charged with third-degree assault after punching a traffic agent who gave him a ticket for double-parking, according to news reports from that time. In that same year, a former aide accused Parker of threatening her after she publicly complained that he shoved and hit her when she worked for him.
