Police: Man Tears Up Walker Recall Petition, Drives Off

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.
