11/5/2004Update on Milwaukee van tire slashing
Filed under: Bush-Kerry 2004 , National politics by John Behan @ 1:48 pm
Powerline has this update to the previously reported slashing of tires on vans rented by the Milwaukee GOP to get out the vote. Note this especially:

The investigation has already led to the Tuesday arrest of Opel E. Simmons III, a veteran party activist from Virginia in town to work on John Kerry’s presidential campaign. Simmons, 33, was released Thursday afternoon without being charged.

Sources told us that police, who are being assisted by the FBI, plan to speak to Michael Pratt, son of former Acting Mayor Marvin Pratt, and Supreme Solar Allah, the son of state Sen. Gwen Moore, who won a seat in the U.S. Congress on Tuesday. Allah’s given name is Sowande Omokunde, and he lives in Moore’s north side home, according to her campaign finance reports.

Officials declined to say what role the two sons might have played in the incident or what they might know about it. But numerous police sources made it clear that detectives from the police intelligence division want to quiz them soon.
