David Morales at Three Sonorans blog breaks the story that Rep. Daniel Patterson faces domestic violence allegations from his girlfriend. Patterson previously faced similar allegations from his ex-wife. A copy of the restraining order is posted at the blog post. Rep. Daniel Patterson strikes again; campaign manager alleges assault, restraining order issued – Three Sonorans:

To preface this story, consider the person who was his biggest supporter and who came to dislike me very much this past year. Her name is Georgette, former executive committee member of the Pima Democrats and Vice-Chair of LD27 in Tucson’s westside, and she became Patterson’s campaign manager.

She stood by her man to the end.

Even after conversations with family members about the domestic violence against his ex-wife, Georgette thought things would be different for her, in fact there needed to be no difference because it was all made up.

This past week Georgette learned first-hand, literally, that it was not all lies, and her man had a problem with hitting women. She came to me and told me her story.

She has a restraining order out on Daniel Patterson.

I met with Georgette, and I saw her bruises with my own eyes. She alleges that Patterson did it to her, hence the restraining order which was issued by a judge and is currently in effect.

There is more to the story. . .

For which Morales teases the story with cryptic references, but spends most of his post editorializing.

Just do straight-up reporting on this story. It's difficult to tell what the facts are from all the editorializing.
