Like Father, Like Daughter?

SEPTEMBER 6--The daughter of embattled Sen. Larry Craig is wanted on an arrest warrant issued earlier this year after she failed to appear in an Idaho court on a pair of misdemeanor criminal charges. In April, a District Court judge signed an arrest warrant for Shae Howell, 36, after she did not show up for a hearing at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise. That warrant, a copy of which you'll find below, orders law enforcement personnel to arrest Howell for contempt (for which bond was set at $500). Howell was due in court to answer charges arising from a domestic dispute in June 2006. According to a criminal complaint, Howell unlawfully entered the residence of David Howell and destroyed photographs of his (the pair appear to have been married, but the current status of that union is unclear). The complaint, a copy of which you'll find here, was filed last November by the Boise City Attorney's Office. In recent media interviews, Howell, pictured in the above mug shot, has come to the defense of her adopted father, whose political career was torpedoed by his Minnesota airport bathroom hijinks.
