"Ojeda said he believes the attack was politically motivated. Since he hadn’t spoken to Porter in years, he believes someone else put Porter up to it.
“I can’t accuse anybody directly; I don’t have the facts,” Ojeda said, “but I will tell you I don’t see any other reason why this would happen, other than it being political.”
He said he has been very vocal about the sentences for those involved in the Mountain Laurel Mining Complex kickback scheme, including that of Alvis Porter, Jonathan Porter’s uncle.
In May 2014, prosecutors charged 10 people in what they described as a widespread scheme that forced companies to pay kickbacks to obtain contracts at the mine.
David Runyon, the general manager, was charged with one count each of extortion and tax evasion. Alvis Porter, [the attacker's uncle] of Holden, a former Logan County circuit clerk and the owner and operator of Southern Construction, was charged with failing to pay trust-fund taxes of his employees. He also admitted to paying about $400,000 in kickbacks to Runyon.
In February 2015, Porter was sentenced to three years probation for failing to pay employment taxes. He also agreed to forfeit $350,000 and pay the IRS nearly $27,000."
He's known Jonathon Porter since about 7. Jonathan Porter has been charged with "malicious assault, attempt to commit a felony and destruction of property".
Porter's uncle has been on Ojeda's anti-corruption radar.
Warriors will have to come from behind again, eh .. lol .. hope Portland wins the one today .. :)
