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.
I say his mother ought to do the right thing and resign her seat. Small token of apology but the right morasl thing to do since she raised this criminal and instilled in him these derelict values...think it would ever happen? LOL

Let me guess.
Love-filled, non-minority, tolerant Chrisian liberals slahded the tires, right? /sarcasm
This is an outrage! I'm sick of us taking this lying down. Solar Allah? They're turning that religion into a freak show....
Keep pursuing this.
Response: Yep.
"Supreme Solar Alllah is innocent!"
LOL

Call me "culturally insensitive" if you want, but some of the names these "converts" to Islam come up with are nothing short of hilarious.
ANy bets on how soon Jesse J appears on the scene?

Some of the comments on the website are pretty funny.
**I say his mother ought to do the right thing and resign her seat.**
I don't agree with you here unless she was involved more directly. It's basically un-American IMHO to punish a parent for the crime of the offspring unless he's a minor. However, public outcry may make it very difficult for her to do the job for which she was elected and, if so, she should resign. Maybe that's what you meant.
