Politico.com reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has visited the home of Fifth District Congressman Tom Perriello's brother following the release of an address by a member of the Lynchburg Tea Party. Politico confirmed with a Perriello aide that a severed propane gas line was discovered at the home. The blog post, written by Mike Troxel (and presently down due to bandwidth issues), allegedly delivered what the blogger thought was Congressman Perriello's home address. However, the address is that of Perriello's brother, who was not immediately available for comment.
The Lynchburg Tea Party's website issued a response which says that Troxel's action "was not requested, sanctioned or endorsed" by the group.
