Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne has received a misdemeanor citation alleging he caused paint damage to the bumper of a parked vehicle during a March 27 fender bender that he did not report.

The accident was witnessed by two FBI special agents who were tailing Horne as part of an investigation into alleged campaign-finance violations. The FBI turned the information over to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Earlier this month, county officials referred the matter to the city of Phoenix.

The state’s top prosecutor issued a brief, written statement about the citation shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday.

... The citation was for one count of leaving the scene of a collision/unattended vehicle, a class three misdemeanor and the lowest-level misdemeanor offense. Crump said the ticket includes a court date and refers Horne to Phoenix Municipal Court.

5. Paragraph Two is the "Money Quote!!"

What absolute HILARITY!

And even if Maricopa was inclined to NOT prosecute the guy, since the Feebs reported it, they had to so do!

7. "...witnessed by two FBI special agents who were tailing Horne as part of an investigation

into alleged campaign-finance violations."

The hit and run may not land him in jail, but campaign-finance violations sure could. The fact that this guy is being tailed by FBI agents is the real story here.

He was parking his car at the home of Ms. Chanel, his mistress, for lunch.

10. Fuck Tom Horne. Worthless Education leader in AZ (never taught a day in his life) and even

worse AG.

I lived in Tucson before going overseas. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE EAST VALLEY that they can dominate state politics and elections so much?

16. ROTFLMAO X 1,000! This evil piece of shit gets busted for being such an evil piece of shit
