Challenger Bails Incumbent Out of Jail

Several hours after Tennessee state Rep. Curry Todd (R) was arrested on a warrant charging him with stealing primary challenger Mark Lovell’s (R) campaign signs, the incumbent was due to be released on bond, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

And who posted that $100 bond? None other than Lovell himself.

Explained Lovell to the Washington Post: “Shoot, I felt sorry for him. Wouldn’t you be sad if you were a state representative and nobody would come bail your ass out of jail?”
