Tigermike 3,055 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Idaho state senator's sons arrested, cited in flag damage incidentBOISE, Idaho (AP) - The adult sons of an Idaho state senator are in hot water with authorities in Idaho's capital city after two American flags dedicated to soldiers killed in Iraq were vandalized. Twenty-four-year-old Michael Burkett was arrested and 22-year-old Thomas Burkett was cited for allegedly damaging flags and flagpoles on the grounds of the Idaho Capitol building this morning. Police say Michael Burkett also resisted and obstructed officers. Boise Police say one flag pole had been bent so the flag was lying on the ground, the other had been pulled from the ground. Their father is Boise Senator Mike Burkett, a Democrat facing Republican Charles Seldon in Tuesday's election. Senator Burkett says he thinks his sons are innocent, while the boys' mother, Sharon Burkett, says the entire event was a "misunderstanding."

DKW 86 7,441 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Funny, why didnt that make National News? The Bush girls went to dinner and drank a few beers. The local Demwit called the Austin SWAT team on them. A SWAT Team for two underage girls drinking beers? Hell I guess if the Dems ever get back in power they will deploy the Marines to Florida for Spring break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
