https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mayor-who-shook-police-after-daniel-prude-death-charged-campaign-n1241904A mayor in New York state who shook up her city’s police department after the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man who allegedly suffered from mental health problems,was hit Friday with campaign finance charges that could drive her out of office.
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren was indicted by a grand jury on charges of scheming to defraud and violating election law by illegally coordinating activities and expenditures, Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said.
Both charges stem from Warren’s 2017 re-election campaign. She has denied any wrongdoing.
Warren, who did not release a statement after her indictment and whose office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has an Oct. 5 court date and also faces the possibility of prison time and the loss of her law license if convicted.
