Man accused of defacing recall petitions, arrested
WEST BEND, Wis. — A West Bend man has been arrested and accused of defacing recall petitions for Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch (KLAY’-fish).
Police say the 30-year-old man stood in line outside the house of a teacher in West Bend Sunday. And, when he was given the clipboard to sign, he scribbled out some of the names. Officers used a license plate number given by recall organizers to find the man after he left.
Sgt. Matt Rohlinger tells the Journal Sentinel the man will likely appear in court Monday. He’s being held in the Washington County Jail.
