With all the attention surrounding the Friday FBI/IRS raid
of John Dougherty’s home, business, sister and
political ally it can be easier to forget that this isn’t his first brush with
the law this year.
In February, Dougherty was involved in a physical
altercation that allegedly included him punching a man in the face. Philly DA
Seth Williams passed the case on to the Attorney General’s office, where it has
sat ever since.
According to Craig R. McCoy, Mark Fazlollah and
Dylan Purcell of the Inquirer, however, that investigation has
widened.
Now the AG’s office is looking into multiple cases of
supposed intimidation by labor officials from Dougherty’s IBEW 98.
Dougherty’s former and once-again spokesman Frank Keel denied any such incidents.
“Any allegations that the union engaged in threats or
intimidation are utter fabrications,” Keel stated.
