Police say Councilman found with 73 pounds of marijuana and more than $100,000 in cash
Despite being arrested on drug and murder charges, an East Chicago city councilman was re-elected to his office in Tuesday’s elections.
East Chicago 3rd District Councilman Robert “Coop” Battle cruised to re-election even though he is accused in the Oct. 12 shooting of Reimundo Camarillo Jr. That isn’t all. As The Munster Times reports, the councilman is also facing drug charges stemming from a traffic stop earlier in the year.
Police say that Councilman Battle was found with 73 pounds of marijuana and more than $100,000 cash during a traffic stop in Porter County, Indiana.
Even with all this legal trouble on his plate, no one filed to run against him, and he won re-election on Tuesday with his unopposed candidacy.

He'll be in jail when he goes to court besides half the voters can't read or write. Stupid is what stupid does. OBAMATOWN.
As Homer would say, "DOH"!

Look at what we had put in nto office because of unopposed positions. Worthless Day and a racist sheriff who helps his deputies get away with murder. Literally!
When you vote for color.
Black lives matter
Obamatown...
they don't even bother counting votes in Chicago..
The people (we, the people, by the way) have to pass a drug test to drive a truck for the city, but their "leaders" get popped with 73 pounds of pot (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) AND $100,000. And they go on a 14 day "business trip" to Hawaii to look for "opportunities". Now, we see what they mean by "opportunities" --- a new drug source.
Two sets of laws.
keep cheering.
