Anthony J. Peters was arrested yesterday for beating Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett with a pipe outside of the Wisconsin State Fair.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel...

The 55-year-old mayor, his sister, niece and two of his daughters were walking to his car around 10:45 p.m. Saturday in the 8800 block of W. Orchard St. in West Allis when they heard a woman yelling.

Authorities said Anthony J. Peters, 20, was arguing with his ex-girlfriend's mother, whose cries for help were answered by the mayor. Telling his sister to take his two young daughters out of harm's way, Barrett confronted the man and tried to calm him. When Barrett took out his cell phone, Peters attacked him, authorities said.

Says Peter's best friend... "Most people probably don't have the chance to even meet the mayor, and he goes and beats him up".

I can't top that.
