A New Hampshire woman believed to be the first transgender person elected to a state legislature was charged Thursday with calling in a bomb threat to a hospital, police said.
Police arrested 31-year-old Stacie Laughton of Nashua on Thursday following the Feb. 27 threat to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center. Police evacuated the building but found no suspicious device. An investigation led police to issue a warrant for Laughton’s arrest; she turned herself in without incident.
Calls weren’t being accepted Thursday at a phone listed for her…
…In 2012, Laughton was elected as one of three House members for Ward 4 in Nashua. However, after news surfaced about her previous life as a convicted felon under the name of Barry C. Laughton Jr. in Laconia, Laughton signed her letter of resignation and the Board of Aldermen sought a special election to fill the vacant position.
A few months later, her position as a Nashua Ward 4 selectman — an elected role that she won during the 2011 municipal election — was nullified after an opinion from the state Attorney General’s Office determined that her previous criminal conviction was not finally discharged under the law because of nearly $2,000 in unpaid restitution.
Back in my high school days we would have said it looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, only this one didn't stop until it got past the roots!
It was mental illness before they made it political.
This one did fall out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, but when he landed his face caught fire and everybody put it out with an ice pick.
Who does his hair? Debbie Washerwoman Shultz?
The position sounds like some Communist block sector boss. If someone told me they lived in Ward 4, I'd think they escaped.
Now that’s just nasty!
“Good grief, what the hell is that???”
Looks like the kind of girl only Bill Clinton could appreciate.
I’m not trying to be mean, I’m really not. But I busted out laughing at that pic. Most trans-sexuals look very little like the opposite sex (i.e. what they claim to “identify with”). But even by those standards, that’s just a freakshow of a picture.
That said, I feel a measure of pity, too. This person is clearly off their bean, again even by the standards of what we’re dealing with here.
Wow. Just wow.
“lawmaker & felon”
No difference.
SPOT THE LOONEY
Maybe they didn’t want to give him his balls back.
A lot of cities have wards. Jersey City has them and I think Boston does too. There’s even a drink called a Ward 8, but I don’t remember what’s in it. My dad used to like to order it just to mess with the bartenders since it’s kind of obscure.
who lives in ward four....
must be some from pelosi’s district
Just call it “Pat.”
Out west they don’t.
Sounds like what you’d find in a mental institution.
Not necessarily!! ;-p
I find the media’s use of female pronouns, etc., for a mutilated man incredibly disgusting. HEY A-HOLES, IT’S A MALE ! It is not a female, no matter how much it wants to pretend, and no matter how much surgical mutilation it has undergone. It’s a MALE !
With a name like Laughton..
LOL, now THAT’S funny!
