Filmmaker who targeted ACORN is arrested in New Orleans

By CREW Staff

The filmmaker-activist whose undercover film last year cast an ethical cloud over the group ACORN was arrested yesterday in Louisiana and charged with criminal activity.

James O'Keefe, a conservative filmmaker-activist, was charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony. Federal authorities allege that O'Keefe and at least three others were involved in a plot apparently to wire-tap or otherwise tamper with phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-LA) office in New Orleans.
