Car tires slashed in protest to protest

Someone put a dagger into a public protest in Aurora recently, as four tires were purposely punctured on a car plastered with political statements.

Jay O'Hearn parked his car, with some of its windows posted with opinions about Pleasant Rowland and the resignation of Aurora deputy mayor Kenneth Zabriskie in front of the Aurora Inn. When he returned five days later, on Sept. 28, he found it with four flats.

O'Hearn, of Main Street, Aurora, found his tires slashed that night, just as they had been in August 2007 under similar circumstances, when he protested both Wells and the activities of Pleasant Rowland.
