CORNING, N.Y. (18 News) - A protest organizer was arrested for petit larceny for allegedly stealing a Tom Reed campaign sign, according to Jim Allard, Steuben County Sheriff.
Gary McCaslin, from Corning, is a leader of the group Citizens for a Better Southern Tier.
Yard signs paid by Tom Reed's campaign were disappearing previously, leading them to put tracking devices in signs, according to Abbey Daugherty, Communications Director for Tom Reed's campaign.
The tracking device lead them to McCaslin's home, according to Daugherty. In a video, published by the campaign, someone is seen approaching McCaslin at his home.
McCaslin can be heard in the video saying, "I don't know anything about a GPS tracker. I can't believe you tracked this sign to my house. Is Tom Reed that desperate, that he has to put little things like that inside of a sign to track it?"
McCaslin has to appear in Corning City Court at a later date.

They literally think they're at war with an occupying power.
Village trade board to honor McCaslin
If it's the same guy, I think that local FD ought get itself a new chaplain...

McCaslin’s there, too. Boy, CCC can sure pick ‘em.
pretty desperate to steal yard signs. Love how they outed the “tolerant” libtards.
He’s not lying. He self-identifies as someone who didn’t steal the sign.
He wasn’t stealing them, he was just taking them away to clean them. He’d have brought them right back after the election. Your Honor.
Southern Tier ping. :-)
Typical democrat thug.
“I don’t know anything about a GPS tracker. I can’t believe you tracked this sign to my house.”
Not too bright.
What’ll be very interesting to see is if any local entities cut their ties to the perp.
“A protest organizer was arrested for petit larceny...”
I’m guessing this was after petit déjeuner...not before.
Which is just what you want in a college instructor. WTG, CCC!
The judge should really read this guy the riot act in a public forum. This about a lot more than just the cost of the sign, it’s about suppressing free speech and silencing your political adversary which we should never condone or take lightly.
It’s about acting like a commie-fascist.
We did the same thing on one of the campaigns I volunteered on. And we caught campaign workers from the other side red handed. But my guy wanted to be magnanimous and declined to press charges.
The other side won...
ie, this guy should not be allowed to vote in county elections since he is employed by the local community college.
I love that accusation that in order to find him, the politician is “desperate”. Whatta loser.
Are you that desperate that you had to steal it?
They should be setting up game cameras too.
Nothing is beneath these people.
Standard Democrat tactic just like voter fraud.
