Has a home in South Lansing, near the strip club, Deja Vu. Sounds like this was at his home and he chased her car and threatened her with a gun.

That Wikipedia article portrays him as a hero who fought against the Nazis

Fiske's brief acting career was cut short when he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942. He was killed in action two years later at La Croix-Avranchin, while serving with the 9th Infantry Regiment (United States) 2nd Infantry Division. 1st Lieutenant Fiske (Potts) was 28 years of age.

Fiske was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal, and several other military honors. He is buried at Brittany American Cemetery and Memorial, Basse-Normandie, France.

His dad literally fought for Hitler and the Nazis, yet won election for a state office in 1970. Seriously? Who did he run against? Obvilusly someone incapable of uttering the words, "He fought for the Nazis in WWII."

… that “Rep. Friske always exercises his Second Amendment right.”

Sounds like a SOB looking for a confrontation.
