Meme-Famous Anti-Immigrant AZ Patriots Founder Arrested for Identity Theft from Elderly Victim

Remember 'Green Shirt Guy', who couldn't stop laughing at an idiotic anti-immigrant "Respect Our Laws" protester in a public meeting? Turns out the protester was a founder of 'AZ Patriots', and:

Back in August, Jennifer Harrison of Arizona became part of a viral sensation after her anti-immigration rant at a local town hall caused a mustachioed man in a green shirt to burst into a fit of laughter. Said rant, which was not entirely intelligible, was accessorized with a large sign reading "RESPECT OUR LAWS OR BE DEPORTED!"

One therefore might assume (or not) that Jennifer Harrison, herself, would be a big fan of respecting laws herself. Alas, this appears to not be the case at all, as Harrison has recently been arrested for identity theft. Specifically, she was arrested and charged on one count of taking the identity of another, which is a Class 4 felony — a charge, ironically, most often used against undocumented immigrants who get jobs under other people's names and social security numbers. Was it because she needed to go into hiding after having made a national embarrassment of herself? No, it was not. It is, in fact doubtful that Harrison possesses anywhere near that amount of self-awareness.

Rather, Harrison allegedly "stole an elderly victim's hotel points" in order to attend the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, featuring the likes of Korn, Slipknot and... Blink 182.
...
Harrison, by the way, is not just a weirdo who randomly shows up to town halls for the purpose of making a fool of herself. She is very organized about making a fool of herself and is the leader of a group of known as the AZ Patriots, a group that was recently ordered by a judge to stop trespassing at several churches that were providing food, shelter and clothing to immigrant asylum-seekers released by ICE. Which, you know, means they're here legally.

AZ Patriots leader Jennifer Harrison arrested on suspicion of identity theft

Jennifer M. Harrison, 42, was booked into jail by Surprise police on Oct. 24 on one count of taking the identity of another, a Class 4 felony, said Sgt. Bryant Vanegas, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
...
The charge is commonly used to prosecute undocumented immigrants who use a fictitious name or someone's identity to obtain a job in Arizona.

But in this case, Harrison is accused of taking "the identity of another by accessing an elderly victim's hotel points," according to a probable cause statement.
...
"Jennifer created a scene at the PD (police department) and in the booking room because she believes she is above the law and does not want to be treated like a criminal," the document says.
