Arrest Made After Break-in at AZ Democratic Candidate’s Campaign Headquarters
Police on Thursday said they have made an arrest in connection with a burglary at the campaign headquarters of Katie Hobbs, the Democratic nominee for governor of Arizona.
Phoenix police said they arrested Daniel Mota Dos Reis, 36, on a single count of third-degree burglary. There does not appear to be any evidence that the break-in was politically motivated.
Still, the burglary has sparked accusations at both ends of the political spectrum, even before police announced they had arrested a suspect. Democrats claimed GOP opponent Kari Lake’s election denialism is to blame, while Lake suggested the break-in was staged.
