Attorney dressed as Osama arrested in Maine Portland, Maine — Attorney Tom Connolly was arrested by South Portland police this morning, after motorists reported a man with a gun near Interstate 295. It turns out the gun was part of a Halloween costume, but it looked real enough to passersby and police. Connolly was dressed in an Osama Bin Laden costume and holding a fake gun and a sign that said “I love TABOR”. Officers drew their weapons on Connolly, who was taken into custody a few minutes later. It will be up to the District Attorney’s office to decide what charges to file, but police say one possibility is a charge of terrorizing. Connolly is a well-known attorney. He ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor in 1998. In 2000, Connolly tipped the media off to a 1970’s DUI arrest by presidential candidate George W. Bush.
