Representative-elect's son arrested in tire slashings By JOHN DIEDRICH jdiedrich@journalsentinel.com
The 25-year-old son of newly elected congresswoman Gwen Moore was arrested Friday by Milwaukee police and later released in connection with the election day slashing of tires on 20 vans and cars rented by the Republican Party, according to police records.
Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, also known as Supreme Solar Allah, arrived at the Milwaukee police administration building Friday morning with his attorney, was arrested at 9 a.m. and held in the police holding facility for several hours before being released, according to records.
Omokunde is one of three suspects who had been arrested as of late Friday.
Opel E. Simmons III, 33, a veteran Democratic Party activist from Virginia, was arrested Tuesday and released Thursday without being charged. A 24-year-old man was arrested Friday afternoon in the same case, a police source said.
Investigators want to talk to Michael Pratt, son of former acting Mayor Marvin Pratt, who led Sen. John Kerry's Milwaukee campaign, but have not summoned him yet, police sources said. Michael Pratt could not be reached for comment.
David Feiss, the Milwaukee County assistant district attorney who is handling the case, said he had not received any reports yet and the investigation is continuing.
"There are a number of individuals, local and not local, who we are attempting to contact," Feiss said.
He said several of the suspects have hired attorneys. After talking to suspects, police will release them, he said. If there are charges, Feiss said, their attorneys will be contacted to arrange for them to come to court.
Omokunde, who lives with Moore, a Democrat elected to Congress on Tuesday, was not available for comment, according to a man who answered the phone at Moore's home.
Omokunde's attorney, Robin Shellow, said he was booked by police and released, but declined to comment further.
Shellow said she called police to arrange for Omokunde to come in.
"If the police are looking for one's client, you pick up the phone and say (to police), 'What would you like us to do, and how could we make your job easier?' . . . That's the way responsible families handle it."
On Tuesday morning, 27 tires on 20 cars and vans rented by the Republican Party to carry voters to the polls were slashed. The vehicles were parked in the 7100 block of W. Capitol Drive.
A security guard reported seeing a man running from the scene that morning, police said. Tuesday night, police arrested Simmons, who was in town drumming up support for the Kerry campaign.
Keep in mind that Gwen Moore won this election. Its great to know that my newly elected congresswoman had employed her son to do violent & illegal activities.

Supreme Solar Allah
In Milwaukee, if you're a Democrat they'll look the other way. In fact I wonder if anyone knows the year and who the last Republican to run for the position of Mayor of Milwaukee.
Actually, he's an inner city black who renamed himself with that ridiculous moniker. I doubt he's firmly aligned with the moon god cult or he would have not used allah in his name.

WTF???
A new type of thermostat?
'several of the suspects have hired attorneys. '
I know of one attorney that is looking for work as we speak.
It seems that the Supreme Solar Allah is a 25 year old loser who lives at home with mommy...
Could this scheme be investigated under RICO? Seems to me that it was related to organized crime with interstate participation...
Religion of Peace alert! Mom's home phone is listed on her web page if you want to reach out and touch Supreme Solar Allah.
Mmmm, religion of peace ping OR children of dems ping OR got em ping.........
