Tucson police records don’t support a newly elected state senator’s claim of repeated attacks by “Antifa” at her home and elsewhere, but a man accused of yelling racist insults at her last year faces a hate crime charge.
Justine Wadsack, a Republican who won election to the Arizona Senate last month, testified in Pima County Superior Court in August that she was forced to leave her family home and move to a rented room in another part of Tucson because of attacks she believed were politically motivated.
Allies of her vanquished primary opponent, Sen. Vince Leach, R-Saddlebrooke, had accused her of using the new address to qualify for residency for her run for office and filed a lawsuit that prompted her testimony.
Police reports of activity at the Wadsack family home show three incidents that are similar to events she described in court but don’t provide evidence of political or organized attacks. None of the police reports mention Antifa.
