New England Politician Crashes Car, Wanders Away, Has no Memory…

H/T Ace of spades 

Police say a New England Politician crashed his car in an accident, wandered away in a daze, swam across a river and huddled in the woods for warmth until he was found a day later, according to documents released Tuesday.

So what? You say…this is not news.

 Yes it is—cuz he's NOT a KENNEDY

The other big news, of course, is that he didn't have any women in the car.  Nope, this is another example of the"Culture of Corruption" in one of the political parties.

"Dodds, 41, of Rye, has not been charged with any crime."

During the accident investigation, a search was made of the car.  But even though he was NOT a Kennedy, we see that the Police  did what they could to insure the information did not become public.

"The unsealed documents, which total more than 100 pages, pointed out that Dodds' clothes were dry, yet his shoes were soaking wet when he was found in April. He spoke of a head injury, but showed no bumps or bruises on his head and there was no damage to the car indicating that he had hit his head, police said. Also, no one saw or heard him cross the Bellamy River."Among the documents was a search warrant to examine Dodds' clothing signed by Hampton District Court Judge Francis Frasier on May 2; the affidavit; letters from the Federal Election Commission to Dodds' campaign treasurer about the campaign being delinquent in filing year-end financial records; and financial statements.

The documents had been sealed after police argued that releasing them could taint the testimony of witnesses yet to be interviewed. Three news organizations — WMUR-TV, Foster's Daily Democrat and the Concord Monitor — petitioned for them to be unsealed, and the state eventually agreed to their release."

 Let's see…New England Poltician crashes car, wanders across a river, doesn't report the accident until the next day, does not have injuries consistent with his story, claims he can't remember, and the Polcie hide information that could be damaging to the Politician's Campaign.

 Other than the woman in the car, what else is missing here…I know it's something…oh yeah, here it is in the LAST paragrah in the story…where you usually find this information:

 "Dodds, a Democrat, is running for the congressional seat held by Republican Jeb Bradley. He will face four other candidates in the primary: Jim Craig of Manchester, Dave Jarvis of Londonderry, Carol Shea-Porter of Rochester and Peter Sullivan of Manchester."
