Robert “Coop” Battle of East Chicago, Indiana, managed to get re-elected in November despite murder and federal drug charges. Paperwork required to take his oath of office was completed Jan. 15, and the ceremony was held afterward at Porter Council Jail. The board of elections received Battle’s paperwork last Friday
“It’s wrong for the taxpayers, wrong for our party. … I can’t remember a situation like this,” Lake County Sheriff Buncich told the Chicago Tribune on Monday.
Battle was pulled over for a traffic stop in September and charged with marijuana possession. Roughly $100,000 cash was also found inside his vehicle.

This is really sad for our Country. He ran for office in a district that included mostly blacks, set up by Democrats to gain votes.
$42,000 per year as a councilman in a city that has fewer people than Salisbury. 42% black population. Whites heading for the hills.
There are just no words to describe this event,,,,Pray hard for America !
Liberals what do you expect.
Glorious!
This guy has been arrested numerous times involving drugs including Heroin. This is what is ruling our country because we are allowing it to happen. Black Criminal Thugs are the ruling class. Isn't that embarrassing!! You stupid ignorant and lazy white Americans!!
I hope that you East Chicagoans feel well represented.
In Indiana, he can run for office as long as he has not yet been convicted or entered a guilty plea.
