The Wisconsin State Journal reports:

A man who stopped his pickup truck at a site where signatures were being collected Thursday for the recall of Gov. Scott Walker ripped up one of the petitions instead of signing it, Madison police said.

Signature takers were able to get the license plate number, but police had not located the man as of Thursday afternoon, [police spokesman Joe DeSpain] said.

Falsifying, defacing or destroying a recall petition is a felony punishable by up to three years and six months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The petition had three signatures on it, before being torn up.
