Arizona Republican Pulled a Pistol on Repo Man and Ran Off With Car

Well, this is just awful. It could actually be included in an episode of “Right Wingers Gone Wild”, if such a show actually existed. It seems that a Republican, you know – the political party of responsibility, didn’t pay her car note. And she was none too pleased when the repo man showed up to take possession of her Jeep, so much so that she caused a scene and got herself arrested.

This isn’t the first case of a Republican refusing to take care of their responsibilities. Congressman Joe Walsh is a dead beat dad who reportedly owed more than $100,000 in back child support.

Anyway, here’s the story of the attempted repossession from the Mohave Valley Daily News:

Sharon Kay Holmes, 68, who was one of about 20 Republican delegates from Kingman sent to a GOP convention in Phoenix in May, was arrested after a gun waving incident. She is also a 2012 candidate for precinct committee person in Kingman.

Holmes is charged with felony aggravated assault, aggravated assault on a police officer, unlawful flight and criminal damage. Around 7:15 p.m., a repo agent attempted to repossess Holmes’ Jeep in the 600 block of Grandview Avenue in Kingman, Kingman police Capt. Rusty Cooper said.

Holmes came out of her house armed with a handgun and pointed the weapon at the repo agent, cursing and threatening to shoot him. While her Jeep was hooked up to the tow truck, she got into her vehicle and tried to drive off.

Once officers arrived at the scene, Holmes refused to get out of her vehicle, and eventually broke the vehicle free, almost hitting the police in her escape attempt. She then led officers on a brief chase, before she was finally arrested.
