And then there's the state reps battle in Athol...

[FishermanTim]

The incumbent (D) state rep Denise Andrews reportedly called police to "inform" them that her opponent (R) Susannah Whipps Lee had bought drugs and then covered it up.

This idiot must think the public is as stupid as she is if they believe any of what she is claiming.

Per the new story, Andrews informed the Cheif of Police of these claims that were "sent by ab unamed sourse".

Gee, isn't that convenient?

"
"Allegedly the drug dealer called the police department to report that they had just sold cocaine to another citizen in our town and that using that information, my police department sent a police officer up to that citizen's house, the one who bought the cocaine, and retrieved it from them," Chief Anderson said.

After that meeting, the chief met with Lee.

"He said it was the incumbent, Denise Andrews, who had come into his office and reported that I had purchased cocaine," Lee said. "If it was true, I should be prosecuted. And I was astounded."

The chief says the officer allegedly sent to Lee's home wasn't even on duty that day. The internal investigation took two weeks.

"I was able to determine that the allegations were not founded. Nobody from my police department was involved and that the incident itself most likely did not happen," Chief Anderson said."

Does anybody doubt that Andrews fabricated this story just to save her a$$??? Maybe there should be a little more investigating to see if Andrews should be charged with filing a false report?

I guess when you get desperate, you'll do ANYTHING to save your political job?
