Deportation Bus Politician Jailed After Being Indicted on Insurance Fraud Charges

Source: Business Insider

The Georgia Republican state senator who steered his controversial campaign for governor with a "deportation bus" was jailed Wednesday after he was indicted on insurance-fraud charges and other crimes.

Michael Williams turned himself in on Wednesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is accused of lying to Georgia authorities about his whereabouts when he reported that his campaign office in Gainesville was burglarized in May.

Williams reportedly said he was at home when around $300,000 worth of computer servers at his office were allegedly stolen. The machines, according to Williams' former campaign manager, Seth Weathers, were used for mining cryptocurrency, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

bringing honor to the puke party.

Seriously, is being a criminal a prerequisite for running nowadays as a puke?
