Attorney dressed as Osama arrested in Maine (Tom Connolly)
Tampa Bay 10 ^ | 31 Oct 2006 | Unattributed

Posted on 10/31/2006 9:31:40 AM PST by Ben Mugged

Attorney Tom Connolly was arrested by South Portland police this morning, after motorists reported a man with a gun near Interstate 295. It turns out the gun was part of a Halloween costume, but it looked real enough to passersby and police.

Connolly was dressed in an Osama Bin Laden costume and holding a fake gun and a sign that said "I love TABOR".

Officers drew their weapons on Connolly, who was taken into custody a few minutes later.

It will be up to the District Attorney's office to decide what charges to file, but police say one possibility is a charge of terrorizing.

Connolly is a well-known attorney. He ran an unsucessful campaign for governor in 1998. In 2000, Connolly tipped the media off to a 1970's DUI arrest by presidential candidiate George W. Bush.

The man is an arrogant leftist. Those of us in Maine who have had the misfortune of dealing with this nutball are probably not surprised.

I watched the video of the arrest. He did not appear to be at any Halloween party.

And Osama Bin Laden was seen on a Pakistani dirt road dressed as an Florida attorney, sporting a Tommy Bahama ensemble and an ACLU T shirt.

ALLEGEDLY, the DUI incident was in Maine. As you know, the Bush family has a vacation place there.
