Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon (D) was arrested on federal public corruption laws, the Charlotte Observer reports.
“Cannon solicited and accepted money bribes and things of value from undercover FBI agents, who were posing as commercial real estate developers and investors wishing to do business in Charlotte.”
The complaint is pretty stunning.
