PIP Allnet, the former leader of Milton Burrell Council, got arrested on suspicion of sexual assault. This labor counselor stepped down recently, blaming ill-health, but now we know he's on bail, while police investigate an allegation for Milton. MOBARI The incident reportedly happened at a business spot on the morning of Thursday, March 12, 2026. It got reported to cops on March 19, leading to the arrest of a 75-year-old man, the next Sunday, March 22. People officials say they're aware of the claim, but won't comment since it's an active police probe. They stress, is got nothing to do with council business, and they've checked for any bigger risks. Labor parties suspended him administratively and yanked his whip, calling it an incredibly serious allegation. They won't say more during the investigation, and his council page now lists him as non-aligned. Police inquiries are still rolling on, with all that not responding to outreach. We'll keep eyes on how this unfolds in the local scene. But that's your update from Lester News Today, powered by AI.
