The Democratic mayor of Rochester, New York, who proposed partially defunding her city’s police department last month, has been indicted by a grand jury for alleged campaign violations.
WROC-TV reported that following a multi-year investigation into Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, the district attorney has charged the Democrat with two felonies stemming from her 2017 re-election campaign.
Warren will face one felony charge of scheme to defraud in the first degree and a second felony charge over an alleged violation of New York election law 14-126(6), which involves campaign filings and finance.
While few specifics of the charges against Warren were offered, officials said they are in relation to hundreds of thousands of dollars raised during the mayor’s first term between November 2013 and November 2017.
Both alleged crimes are classified as class E felonies, and each could carry a punishment of up to four years behind bars.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley, who announced the charges Friday, also said punishments could be less severe, and could include probation, restitution or split sentencing should Warren be convicted.
WROC reported, “According to 2017 expenditures of Warren’s political action committee, Warren for a Stronger Rochester PAC, $30,000 was transferred from the PAC to her committee, Friends of Lovely Warren.”
The station added, “New York State has strict rules forbidding PACs and committees from coordinating. Warren’s campaign claims the money was earmarked for Friends of Lovely Warren, but was accidentally placed in the PAC account through a ‘PayPal error,’ or a clerical mistake.”
Doorley said she did not feel the alleged campaign violations were a mistake.

Her freedom due to be DeFunded.
Warren...Warren...I’ve seen that name somewhere else.
What’s with these stage names for these black female mayors and police chiefs?
Shocking. Nobody could have predicted this.
Would post Lock her Up, lock her up...
But her hides got pigment protection and it ain’t Scotchguard
Besides the inherent hilariousness, these prosecutions coming as they do late in the campaign season will rebound in favor of President Trump, who's managed to be the immovable object that refutes the existence of the irresistable force.
This is the town that had riots of thugs crawling all over houses, no?
this is what a non-Soros-bought DA does
Truly Lovely
Left over from their initial career attempt as a pole dancer?
Why does anyone not understand why she wanted the only people that could arrest her defunded so there wouldn’t be anyone to do it unless it went through a full blown psychological evaluation accomplished by one of the replacement cops called counselors? By the time they’re done, they will be past the statutes of limitation.

Good news... thanks for posting.
As Jack Benny might have said, “Oh Rochester. You’re going to jail”.
Another crooked Democrat, who would have thunk. Tell me it ain’t so!
A: Maybe she shoulda got them COMPLETELY defunded, so no one could have arrested her.
B: She should also be charged with Felony False Advertising.
She definitely is not Lovely.
Yet another criminal, democrat politician. I place the blame directly on all democrat voters for electing this type of person.

Rich Democrats don’t go to jail.
