It’s been a tough year for Philly DA Seth Williams.
Apparently, though, 2015 wasn’t a peach either.
That’s because according to David Gambacorta of Philadelphia Magazine, Williams’ girlfriend slashed his tires last year.
Last November, the tires of two city vehicles were damaged and it turns out Stacey Cummings admitted to the crime last week.
Since the cars involved belonged to the city, Philadelphia residents paid the $845 it cost to replace them, reports Jason Laughlin of the Inquirer. Cummings told investigators she did it because she “received some information that was very upsetting and reacted poorly to it.”
When the revelation about Williams’ undisclosed gifts was made earlier this month, it was also revealed that Cummings was his girlfriend. It is unclear, however, if they are still together.

Great post! I am actually getting ready to across this information, is very helpful my friend. Also great blog here with all of the valuable information you have. Keep up the good work you are doing here. webfont generator
Seems like this guy has a ton of questions to answer. When is he going to answer them?
Seth Williams must have had a great security detail protecting him and his car when his tires were slashed.
Looking like nobody will get the chance to vote for Seth again, unless they are on the jury.
The real story here is not that a girlfriend got mad and did something dumb. The real story is that the DA’s Office decided to assume rensponsibility for an investigation they should have let the Police handle.
The DA’s Office investigating a crime that the DA’s girlfriend committed is totally inappropriate. And the fact that she did not get arrested for nine months shoes that their attempt to shield her from prosecution almost worked.
If not for Chris Brennan’s article in April, they would still be covering this up. I voted for Seth Williams. I will not repeat that mistake.
I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this web site. I’m hoping the same high-grade site post from you in the upcoming also. In fact your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own blog now. Really the blogging is spreading its wings quickly. Your write up is a great example of it.

@patunger you’re not from Philadelphia. I grew up in the ward structure there. Every mfr In the city knows: if Johnny Docs your friend it’s 500 k and an army of thugs on the street. Doing an ad for his nitwit brother and taking 10 k was Seth saying ” cmon don’t be my enemy”. They aquiesse out of fear thinking this time it will be different. Anyone who took his money knew the risk and they can all go to jail. They knew what a criminal he was they were glad he focused on NE Philly so he wasn’t in their backyard anymore.
Whistleblower’s theory is not interesting. It is ridiculous. Seth recorded a TV ad for Dougherty’s brother. Seth turned his back on the victim of violent crime so that he could protect Dougherty.
The girlfriend slashed the tires. And then Seth and the DA’s Office covered it up. But they did a piss-poor job of it. And now Seth’s girlfriend will have a criminal record. Seth, too, will soon have a criminal record. And he has earned it.
Aaron is batting a thousand. I’ll bet that hot-streak continues.
gulag – The crime should have been investigated by the Philly Police. That is clear.
And now we know why DA Williams’ Office did the investigation instead of the entity that should have fone it. They wanted to protect Williams’ girlfriend.
And for a while they did protect her. But everyone in the City has known who did it for a long time. So – Seth decided to “refer” the case to Delco (9 months after the fact).
It’s a joke. Williams is corrupt. Period.
So many CROOKED DEMOCRATS, so little courtroom time.
Why would DelCo be investigating a PhillyCo crime? Does the gf live in DelCo?
Has this arrogant, thieving, corrupt POS been indicted by the Feds yet?
It’s like a right wing mad lib!
Pretty sure Kathleen Kane used the Rose Law Firm to hire Benghazi to slash those tires.
Chris Brennan invoked shield law in Kanes trial. Seth Willisms blows out the case. 2 agents from organized crime section in AG office ( essington Ave) the Ralston brothers being investigated because of heir close relationship to Henon and Doc. This just a few days ago. Now it’s all the gf fault ? A misdemeanor ?? WHAT COPS COVERED IT UP? And how much will the gf be paid for taking the rap! Everyone on this site needs to get off Kane Fina. It’s old news. Focus your common sense and logic on the biggest corruption case since ABSCAM. ITS DOUGHERTY!!! He’s everywhere.
Whistleblower-
That is a very interesting theory. The rumor has been the girlfriend (and no one else) all this time.
Though, I’m surprised the haters here didn’t try to accuse Kane of slashing the tires.
Seth be who you used to be before Johnny Doc got his claws into you RESIGN!!!!
Or Local 98 slashed the tires and Seth’s still covering up for them just like the police. The gf says she doesn’t remember what she used to slash the tires ??? How’s that possible ? Also her and her father get listed as gift givers. Considering Sam Stretton ( Johnny Doc) bagman is Seth’s attorney IM NOT BUYING IT! There’s more going on here. I smell an inflatable RAT!!!
His girlfriend slashed his tires and he covered it up to make the city pay for it?
File that under: no sh*it, Sherlock.
I guess the only “news” is her finally admitting it. Anyone want to bet the FBI has him discussing the coverup?
Williams obviously orchestrated the referral to the DelCO DA and the quick confession by his girlfriend. The only remaining question is who will be arrested and prosecuted for orchestrating the false police report and lying to authorities in the first place. His security detail and police who prepared the fake report should not be fired for covering up for someone higher up. Why should they lose their pension?
This entire saga is going to be turned into a Lifetime movie. It has everything: politics, betrayal, scorned lovers…
Williams is a CRIMINAL.
He tried to cover-up his g/f’s crimes!! And it’s clear that he enlisted help – from his security detail, from Kathy Martin and from Lt. Lee.
This disgusts me. Democrats’ grip on Philly needs to end.
