Ed Fitzgerald, Dem. candidate for Ohio governor, swiftboated by Republican Governors Assoc. [View all]

According to Cleveland.com and Cincinnati.com, a police report was filed at 4:26a.m. Oct. 12, 2013 by the Westlake (OH) Police Dept. in response to a phone call re "an occupied Ford focus (sic) parked in the lot for the past half hour."

According to the report, the occupants were Fitzgerald and " a friend" "just talking". The friend was Joanne Grehan, who was part of visiting trade delegation from County Mayo, Ireland.

Fitzgerald and his wife Shannon have decried the "personal attacks being levied against our family". "There was absolutely nothing - nothing- inappropriate going on," Fitzgerald told a media group. The couple has been married 23 years and have four children. Fitzgerald is a former FBI agent.

The Ohio Fraternal Order of Police have endorsed Fitzgerald for Governor, and Ohio FOP President McDonald appeared with Fitzgerald today.

The request for this police report has been attributed to the Republican Governors Association.
(Isn't Chris Christie the current chairman of the RGA?)
