DECORAH - A Decorah man was arrested Monday evening for having a hunting knife inside the Hillary Clinton campaign headquarters in Decorah, police said.

Decorah police say they were called by staff at the Clinton headquarters at 5:20 p.m. for a report of a man inside with a knife. When officers arrived the male subject, as described by staff, had left.

Faris was located a short time later and taken into custody.

People carry firearms and knives in rural areas. The Clintons may be from Arkansas, but they have no clue about the area outside the elitist beltway.

This smells fishy to me.

Any time you have Hillary involved with security you have problems.

Did she not say that she had placed her life on the line while traveling with her president husband?

Or was she referencing being scared that one of her husbands old girlfriends might try to get revenge?

We own a motorcycle accessory store and bikers come in here with knives all the time, heck we even sell them.
Of course I am NOT Hillary Clinton and so am not afraid of the guys. ;)

3rd degree Harassment is a simple misdemeanor.

Well, I look up the Iowa code HERE. It appears third-degree harassment is a misdemeanor.

If Hillary doesn’t pull some kind of dirty trick right before any election I am extremely surprised.

“Ban the Knife!”

“Knife Control” coming from a left wing political party near you.

“It’s for the Children.”

I read that reference and didn’t see anything about carrying a knife. So how is this gentleman being charged with 3rd degree harassment.

If this ends up being a possible clinton supporter who had a knife in a belt holster this should blow up on the clintonista goons big time. Having a legal weapon on your person is not a crime.
Heck, I don’t leave the house without my spyderco in a pocket.
Most men people in rural America (flyover country for the liberals) carry a knife on their person, they were tought to do so by a caring parent. Better to have it and not need it that to need it and not HAVE IT.
Crybaby liberal whiners are afraid of their own shadows.....

My Uncle and his son have the Ducati/Moto Guzzi dealership in Des Moines, and it’s the same there.

Obviously, the man was carrying an “Assault Knife.”

They’d claim that about my 1962 Official Boy Scout Sheath Knife too.

“Third degree harrassment”? Maybe it means asking too many questions.
