Michigan GOP Representative Claims Political Setup After Arrest for Assault

Neil Friske maintains innocence, alleges conspiracy behind charges of assaulting and chasing a stripper with a gun.

Friske was arrested in Lansing after allegedly assaulting a stripper and brandishing a firearm.
He claims the accusations are part of a politically motivated scheme to discredit him.
No charges have been filed yet, and Friske was released from custody the day after his arrest.
Friske's opponent, Parker Fairbairn, has called for a fair investigation while criticizing Friske's record.
The incident occurred shortly before absentee ballots were to be released for the upcoming primary.
