CAVE CREEK, Ariz. - Matthew Ammel, the former bodyguard to ex-Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, is accused of entering her Cave Creek home while she was out of town and causing more than $200,000 in damage, according to a probable cause statement.

What we know:

According to court documents, the incident occurred Aug. 30, but Sinema did not report it to deputies until Sept. 3.

Sinema told deputies Ammel demanded she post a video to her X account and threatened to damage her paintings every 10 minutes if she did not. The probable cause statement says Sinema did not post the video and Ammel then removed about 22 paintings from the walls and threw them into the backyard pool.

The combined reported value of those paintings was $123,015, according to deputies.

“Deputies took him into custody as he was released from a mental health facility.”

Another Democrat.

Per the story:

“The backstory:
The criminal case comes as Sinema has acknowledged having an affair with Ammel in response to a lawsuit filed against her in North Carolina.

A woman in North Carolina sued Sinema under a state law known as “alienation of affection,” which allows a spouse to sue a third party for interfering with or destroying a marriage.

Sinema has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that her relationship with Ammel took place entirely outside North Carolina.”

And how does tossing $123,000 worth of paintings into the pool translate into over $200,000 in damage? Plus, those numbers are pretty big… But yet she doesn’t report the vandalism and the break-in to police?

Something smells

I remember when I was young and Cave Creek was out of town and nothing but goat and donkey farms. LOL! I used to like to drink Coors at a nice little country bar up there.

Uh oh.... Imagine the paranoia among liberal elites if they can no longer trust their bodyguards.

I’ve seen paintings from Walmart that are nice that you can buy for $15.

It is rumoured that she was having an affair with somebody. It might be related.

Long way from being a Code Pink Commie.

Cave Creek is one of the wealthiest exurbs in Phoenix.

She’s a real social justice warrior, huh?

All women are “bi”.

It’s just a matter of whether it’s “-sexual” or “-polar.”

From the title I was expecting a story about rough sex. Silly me.

She’s not choosy.

Not a rumor and the affair is very old news. I’m asking about the large discrepancy between the $200k damages figure and the $123k paintings damages. The fact that she didn’t report it smells bad, like most politicians.
