Had a report that a not unknown name in South Dakota politics has a temporary residence for the moment.
The Meade County Sheriff’s Office is noting on their website tonight that Shad Alexander Olson is a guest at the moment as an inmate at the Meade County Jail, as a result of his arrest for Aggravated Assault Domestic:
If I’m not mistaken, this is the same Shad Alexander Olson who managed Gordon Howie’s gubernatorial campaign a few years back, was a campaign staffer for Neal Tapio‘s ill-fated Congressional race, and has been a conservative commentator since he got booted from TV in Rapid City, hosting his own Shad Olson show.
I’m sure we’re going to hear more about this in short order, as court documents come out. If someone has a mugshot, feel free to e-mail me a copy. I also hope whomever was involved as the victim of domestic abuse/assault is ok.
And remember kids, defendants – even in cases of Domestic Abuse/Ag Assault involving serious bodily injury – are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.
Update:
I see Twitter is starting to get on it…
Mr. Howie, the insanest of them all, is an Overgodder of Gordantic proportions, and he and his road-boy Shad took far to long to return grudznick’s money. I will never forgive them, but by golly I will stick my government in their church.
‘gordantic’ lol
Neal Tapio….didnt he hang out with Roetman and Ravnsborg? This is a serious question.
Yes.
This was definitely not on my bingo card for this week.
Shad is a POS. I hope he gets what he deserves.
$5000 bond, and still in Jail? He has called himself a millionaire. I thought he would keep twice that in his prison wallet.
Narcissism appears to very prevalent in the far right and the far left.
While politically I find the guy reprehensible at best and have never met him personally, he is innocent until he is proven guilty in a court of law. But, now he is guilty in the court of at least Republican public opinion which doesn’t seem just.
