A Georgia state Senate candidate was arrested Friday after authorities say she broke into her old home after being evicted.
Linda Pritchett, who’s running to represent Georgia’s 39th District, is accused of breaking and entering at her former residence before moving her belongings back in, WSB-TV reported, citing City of South Fulton police.
The Senate hopeful was booked on two counts of first-degree burglary and two counts of criminal damage to property, online jail records show. Pritchett is also charged with willful obstruction of law enforcement.
The reason for her eviction is unclear, but Pritchett told police she felt the eviction was “improper,” according to WSB-TV.
News of Pritchett’s arrest sparked demands for transparency from constituents, some of whom said they have doubts about her ability to lead, according to comments posted to her Facebook page.
“I’ve been transparent in this situation,” Pritchett responded to one critic. “The problem has been that because this involves me politically many involved have chosen to disregard pertinent facts and draw conclusions based on their biased opinions.”

ReplyDelete#1 female. You got it.
It said “hopeful”.
See, the problem is, stupid people are supposed to vote for people that are smarter, more resourceful and more dedicated.
Now, the idiots are running the show.
Another example of a fine upstanding dumbocrat minority.

DeleteNorthwest Woodsman: Another negro politician who cannot foresee consequences of their irrational decisions and behavior. How many times do we have to witness this behavior before we have had enough? Can’t imagine the damage that would eventually result from winning political office.
