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.

So, this is what they teach in the households of the people who want to represent the party of diversity and inclusion?

Thanks for the belly laugh so early in the morning! What a way to start out the day....(she says while cleaning off the coffee from her keyboard)

Excellent point!

See No. 42. I can't even remember it, but I did do one rap song.

I don't necessarily think she'd be being "punished" for his handiwork, just deprived of the benefit from it. To me, it's like receiving stolen goods - you don't go to jail if you innocently received a stolen diamond necklace, but you don't get to keep on wearing it, either.

Bottom line - she obviously benefitted from the crime. Unless her victory was overwhelming (80+ percent territory), the Pubbie GOTV would have impacted the race more with the extra vehicles, IMO.

Supreme Solar Allah. So what do his friends call him?

Supreme? Soul? Sol? His initials backwards are ASS. I think he should change his name to Allah Solar Supreme.
How is he listed in the phone book? With that last name he should get a table very quick in Muslim counties.

We need to go to his site and make other suggestions for names.

The Governor ..his sock pocket AG Peg 'the keg' Lautenslagger and the top cops who supported her after her wannabe crash test dummy OWI audition... (cocktails plus her happy pills) probably wouldn't be the best
choice to get to the bottom of vote fraud or any crime motivated by hatred of conservatives in Wisconsin.

Seems to me that even when our notorious Gov was AG not much was done about Democrat vote fraud..though Republicans seem to always get a lot of attention from the WI Dept. of 'just us'

Only the feds have even a ghost of a chance of a non partisan investigation....in WI.

Gov Doyle is magically transforming Wi into a mini version of Clintonista Arkansas... IMO

ANd then we'll hear it's not the poor "kids" fault....It the tires fault. It's society's fault! IT'S BUSH's FAULT! .....Personally I hope they throw the entire book shelf at him.

Some wonder why Kerry lost.

[the crow]

someone had posted on another thread that Supreme, er Solar, er Allah, heck I will just call him Sunshine, had a paycheck from the democrats a/o 9/30/04. Pratt was on the payroll in '03.

I forwarded the link to Sykes, Wagner, WTMJ and the Journal reporter.

so you have two paid democrat thugs suppressing the vote. this REQUIRES federal charges. please keep me pinged to this story, if you would.

Remember when they first reported it? It was reported as the 'children' of a representative, hoping to have readers think it was just a mistake of adolescence.

[csvset]

I'm sure that Jesse "Jackass" Jackson will mention how these Democrat thugs supressed voters.

What the hell kind of name is this??? Milwaukeeans might as well have elected Osama bin Laden himself to Congress. Sheesh!

If he lives with Mama, I'd bet he's privy to the conversations between Mama and the Dem-leaders who helped her get elected. There's no way to PROVE (without a confession) that slashing the tires on the Republican Party's Vans was mentioned in passing.

AND now, since the 25-year old is Muslim, what is his mother's religious affiliation? As we know from Iraq, the Radical Fundamentalist Muslims use women as well as men on suicide missions. Do members of Congress go through the 'weapon detectors'?

IF I were a member of Congress, I'd make sure that this woman went through a detector at every opportunity. No exceptions. She could as easily be a 'sleeper' as any other American. We know her child is Muslim and that she harbors a Muslim in her home.
