CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -
Charlotte Mayor, Patrick DeAngelo Cannon, was arrested Wednesday by FBI agents for alleged violations of federal public corruption laws, announced Anne M. Tompkins, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina.
The federal criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court, charges Cannon, 47, of Charlotte, with theft and bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds, honest services wire fraud and extortion under color of official right, according to the news release from the US Attorney's Office.
John A. Strong, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Charlotte Division, joins U.S. Attorney Tompkins in making today's announcement.
The Charlotte Observer finally got around to saying that Cannon was a Democrat. Charlotte is choked with liberals.Former Charlotte mayor Anthony Fox was recently appointed to Obama's Department of Transportation(or was it to transport the bribes, experience counts).
