Recall nut held twice on illegal gun charges
Rep. Darrell Issa was arrested twice on illegal-weapons charges, including an incident in Michigan that led to a misdemeanor gun conviction.
Issa's weapons arrests have come under new scrutiny as the millionaire Republican attempts to oust Gov. Gray Davis in an unprecedented recall campaign.
Court records on file in Issa's hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, show that in March 1972, one month after getting out of the Army, Issa was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and auto theft.
The incident, which involved Issa's older brother William, concerned the alleged theft of a new red Maserati sports car from an auto dealership. His campaign has denied the incident in later interviews as well, saying it never happened.
