Lawyer arrested after dressing as bin Laden

BOSTON (Reuters) - A Maine attorney who released information in 2000 about
President George W. Bush's drunken driving conviction was arrested on Tuesday after he dressed up as al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and waved a fake gun at traffic.

Police in South Portland, Maine, arrested Thomas Connolly, 49, of Scarborough, Maine, and charged him with criminal threatening. He was released on bail, local officials said.

Lt. Todd Bernard said the police department received calls about a man wearing Middle Eastern garb and a bin Laden mask and carrying fake dynamite standing along an interstate highway. When police arrived, they saw Connolly holding a gun.

"They ordered him to drop the weapon several times and he eventually complied," Bernard said.

It turned out the gun was fake, Bernard said.

In a phone interview, Connolly said he'd been trying to protest a planned change in local tax rules.

"I didn't expect to be arrested," he said. "Obviously I touched a post-9/11 nerve."

Days before the 2000 presidential election, Connolly released information about Bush's 1976 drunken driving conviction.

The Bush campaign said Democratic "dirty tricks" were behind the disclosure that at age 30 Bush had been arrested for drunken driving in Kennebunkport, Maine, pleaded guilty, paid a fine and had his license suspended for 30 days.

Connolly, a Democrat, ran for governor in Maine in 1998.

South Portland, Maine, is located about 100 miles northeast of Boston.

i'm a huge advocate for personal liberties.. but um, he had a gun (that turned out to be fake). it had nothing to do with the costume.

obviously there is some spin to every media story, but if he didn't comply with the cops immediately when they asked him to put down the weapon.. i'm sure that didn't help his case as far as getting charged goes.

Dirty Dane · 11-02-2006, 03:29 AM

I didn't expect to be arrested

After waving with a gun... what an idiot

KingK7 · 11-02-2006, 05:52 AM

rigrunner · 11-02-2006, 07:13 AM

I got a flyer in the post today, along with some Slayer concert tickets...the back of the flyers said they were printed by the 'saudi bin laden group' I was like... errr... do i chuck this away or will some FBI guy slam me and arrest me as it hits the bottom of my wheelie bin.

No sign of the FBI yet... ;)

I think everyone is too crazy about guns.. If the US population didnt have so many, we would have been taken over by now, that I can guarantee. Not by some outsode source though, from the inside!

rodney25 · 11-02-2006, 07:34 AM

Right now, I just wanna see what that man really looks like with that notorious halloween costume.

jerseygto · 11-02-2006, 07:49 AM

Hey do whatever ya want but how fuckin stupid can you be to wave a friggin gun fake or not hes lucky his ass didnt get shot !!

charlie g · 11-02-2006, 07:59 AM

This crazy bastard is lucky he wasn't in the south. A good ole boy would have run him over with his pick up, taken a rifle from his gun rack and made sure that stupid shit was dead. The article said he had fake dynamite too. What an asshole!!!!
