Town officials had previously warned McConnell about peddling his political wares at the market (he is accused of being "aggressive" in his pitch), and had cited him for selling merchandise without a proper permit.

Town officials are evidently not as creative as McConnell - the above would seem to provide more credible 'reasons' for his arrest.

Anyone else notice how 'aggressive' carneys can be in selling their wares on public property?

I'm thinking an email to the local paper up there would be appropriate - perhaps the people in the town just don't realize how stupid their politicians actually are - oh, wait - 25% of Americans don't realize how stupid their president is, maybe we've found the town where those 25% live.
