MittWatch: Romney Aide Is Super Trooper No More

072207_badge.jpgWell, at least somebody within the Romney campaign got some good news after Super Tuesday. DA Dan Conley announced that he won't press charges against former Romney aide Jay Garrity.

No, Garrity wasn't the Romney aide who put a picture of himself in a hot tub on mySpace. He was the guy who allegedly pretended to be a police officer and hassled a reporter. According to the AP, Garrity was cleared of pretending to be a police officer during a phone call:

"An extensive review of phone records, financial transactions and other documents has provided no evidence that Mr. Garrity placed that call," said a statement issued by Conley spokesman Jake Wark. "In fact, evidence points away from him."

Whether or not Garrity has a law-enforcement fetish, he won't be getting into any serious trouble in either Massachusetts or New Hampshire, where he was also accused of playing cops 'n' reporters. So, does this mean the State Police will take him?

All charges alleged until proven--or cleared, in this case--under law.
