Putnam Township supervisor candidate Shane Roscoe claimed innocence Saturday afternoon, hours after his release by Washtenaw County authorities who arrested him Thursday afternoon in connection with an attempted robbery and beating at an Ann Arbor area auto dealership.
I neglected to mention in my previous post that Mr. Roscoe has a lot of priors. Even if he is innocent of this crime, this guy is a real embarassment for the Livingston Democrats. The democrats have a CONVICTED thief, robber, and stalker on their ticket.
Here's a list of his priors, courtesy of the Offender Tracking Information System. These are convictions, not charges where he was found innocent. These were all guilty or Nolo Contendere (No contest) pleas.
Prison Escape - Ionia - Sentencing Date - 9/8/86
Receiving Stolen Property - Washtenaw - 12/21/84
Receiving Stolen Property - Wayne - 11/2/84]
Breaking and Entering w Intent (Attempted) - Wayne - 10/10/84
Breaking and Entering w Intent (Attempted) - Wayne - 6/25/87
Unarmed Robbery - Wayne - 6/25/87
Stalking - Wayne - 2/12/97
Assault with a Dangerous Weapon - Livingston - 9/5/02
Larceny $1000-$20,000 - Oakland - 6/26/02
Larceny $1000-$20,000 - Oakland - 6/26/02
Receiving Stolen Property $1000-$20,000 - Oakland - 6/26/02
Now I'm not passing judgement on this current case as he is innocent till proven guilty. However, with ELEVEN priors, with the last offense on 1/25/01 (Livingston's ADW), is this a guy I'd want as a Township Supervisor? If he gets elected, I hope the treasurer in Putnam Township keeps a VERY close eye on the money for obvious reasons.
