The suspect ran from the officers and pushed a 60-year-old female security guard before authorities arrested him. Later that evening, a patrol officer saw media reports of a campaign burglary that happened two nights before, where surveillance showed an image of Mota.<\/p>\n<p>Mota was arrested again by Phoenix Police for the campaign headquarters burglary on the night of October 24.<\/p>\n<p>Following the burglary, Hobbs insinuated that Lake or her \u201callies\u201d had at least inspired a recent break-in at her campaign office.<\/p>\n<p>Hobbs released a statement following the burglary \u2014 which allegedly took place at her campaign headquarters in Phoenix and was reported to local authorities last week \u2014 saying that she and her team were cooperating with law enforcement to get to the bottom of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>She then suggested that Lake\u2019s rhetoric had ratcheted up the temperature and may have pushed her allies in a violent direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecretary Hobbs and her staff have faced hundreds of death threats and threats of violence over the course of this campaign. Throughout this race, we have been clear that the safety of our staff and of the Secretary is our number one priority,\u201d the campaign statement began, before pivoting to attack Lake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s be clear: for nearly two years Kari Lake and her allies have been spreading dangerous misinformation and inciting threats against anyone they see fit. The threats against Arizonans attempting to exercise their constitutional rights and their attacks on elected officials are the direct result of a concerted campaign of lies and intimidation,\u201d it continued.<\/p>\n<p>Lake responded to the thinly-veiled accusation, telling CNN it was \u201cabsurd\u201d and suggesting that the break-in may not have even happened as Hobbs\u2019 campaign claimed. \u201cAre you really buying that?\u201d she asked, adding, \u201cBecause this sounds like a Jussie Smollett part 2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Remember when <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/katiehobbs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@katiehobbs<\/a> accused me of orchestrating a Watergate-style break-in of her campaign office? <\/p>\n<p>Well, it turns out it was a repeat-criminal here in our country illegally. <\/p>\n<p>RETWEET THIS.
