Michigan GOP State Rep Charged With Felony After Allegedly Firing A Gun While Chasing Stripper [VIDEO]

June 21, 2024 Republicans, Scandal

The New York Post reports:

Neil Friske apparently lives up to his name: The Michigan state representative was arrested early Thursday after Lansing police responded to a report of gunshots — and allegedly found him chasing a stripper and firing a weapon.

Friske, a first-term Republican who represents the northern 107th House District remains jailed.

His arrest “stems from allegations that he sexually assaulted an exotic dancer and then chased her with a firearm. Friske was cuffed around 2:45 a.m. Thursday on the 2000 block of Windbreak Lane, the street where public records show he owns a home, “for a felony-level offense.”

Bridge Michigan reports:



Friske is one of the most conservative members of the legislature. He belongs to the chamber’s Freedom Caucus, which is notable for voting against nearly every piece of legislation that comes before them in the Democratic-led Legislature.

House Speaker Joe Tate, D-Detroit, said Thursday morning that he was “informed briefly” about Friske’s arrest but had not yet had any conversations with Republican leaders about the situation.

Friske, the owner of Friske Orchards in Charlevoix, was first elected to represent the area in 2022. The orchard was founded by Friske’s father Richard Friske, who also served in the state House for a single term in 1970.
