In a shocking development that has rocked the local political scene, one Colin McSweetie has been arrested by authorities investigating the financing of his party’s wild shenanigans.
McSweetie, the former vice-president of the “Crazy Partiers Alliance,” was picked up by police on Tuesday after a raid on his penthouse apartment turned up incriminating evidence linking him to some truly ridiculous expenditures.
Sources close to the investigation say that McSweetie had been funneling party funds into a variety of extravagant purchases, including several hundred boxes of Twinkies, a life-sized statue of Danny DeVito, and a 10-foot-tall inflatable giraffe.
“This is a textbook example of political corruption,” exclaimed one unnamed commentator. “I mean, who needs that many Twinkies?! It’s madness!”
The Crazy Partiers Alliance has so far refused to comment on McSweetie’s arrest, but insiders say that the party is in complete disarray as a result of the scandal.
“Everyone’s just in shock,” said one party member. “We had no idea Colin was capable of this kind of behavior. I mean, I knew he was a bit of a loose cannon, but I never would have guessed he was spending our hard-earned cash on inflatable giraffes.”
As of press time, McSweetie was still in police custody, and is reportedly refusing to speak about the charges against him. But one thing is certain: this bizarre case is sure to go down in history as one of the strangest examples of political corruption ever.
