Grand Old Police Blotter: Redick and Weep Edition

Republican Parrothead Dickhead Dennis Redick, mayor of Noblesville, IN, stands accused of attempting to strangle his girlfriend in front of onlookers at a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Hamilton County sheriff's deputies arrested the 57-year-old Republican at 10:30 p.m. Thursday.

According to a police report, Redick had grabbed his girlfriend, Sylvia L. Clemons, "around the collar of her shirt, with his hands on her throat," and pushed her against a limousine.

Clemons told authorities that Redick then pushed her onto the hood of the vehicle and held her there until the limo driver, Russell Holloman, pulled him away.

Holloman and another witness corroborated her account, the report says.

Video of the Republican in handcuffs and a tape of the 911 call can be heard here.

Redick may claim/that there's a woman to blame/but we know/it's his own damn fault.
