Gary Becker, 51, Held On $165,000 Bond
Racine city officials say Mayor Gary Becker is under arrest on possible charges of child pornography and solicitation of a minor.
The 51-year-old mayor is being held in the Kenosha County Jail on $165,000 bond.
City administrator Ben Hughes says Becker was arrested on Tuesday by agents from the state Division of Criminal Investigation at a shopping mall outside of Milwaukee.
The case is under review by the Kenosha County District Attorney's office. City Council President David Maack says he got a call from the police chief shortly after midnight telling him about the arrest involving child pornography.
Maack says he was "shocked and disappointed" by the news and alerted the city's other aldermen. Maack says he'll serve as acting mayor for the time being. He was not sure what would happen if Becker could not finish his term.
That was not hard to guess! But in the eyes of the Democrat party, what he did was OK, let’s just move on!
Uh, special election?......
On second thought, nothing beats Stuart Smalley for Senate.
He can expect a call any day now with an offer to serve in the Ombama administration.
Boy or Girl?
Obama: “That’s not the Gary Becker I knew.”
Education or child 'services'?
A grand jury has indicted Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon on 12 counts of theft, perjury and misconduct stemming from her romantic relationship with a Baltimore developer, the state prosecutor said Friday.
Gary Becker, 51, Republican, Held On $165,000 Bond
Racine city officials say Republican Mayor Gary Becker is under arrest on possible charges of child pornography and solicitation of a minor.
The 51-year-old Republican mayor is being held in the Kenosha County Jail on $165,000 bond.
City administrator Ben Hughes says Becker, a Republican, was arrested on Tuesday by agents from the state Division of Criminal Investigation at a shopping mall outside of Milwaukee, known to be frequented by Republicans.
The case is under review by the Kenosha County District Attorney's office. City Council President David Maack (unlike the Republican mayor, a Democrat) says he got a call from the police chief shortly after midnight telling him about the arrest involving child pornography. Maack says he was "shocked and disappointed" by the news and alerted the city's other aldermen (some of whom are Republicans, but whose complicity at this time is uncertain). Maack says he'll serve as acting mayor for the time being. He was not sure what would happen if the Republican, Becker, could not finish his term.
**But in the eyes of the Democrat party, what he did was OK, lets just move on!**
But in the eyes of God he is infected with internal leprosy.
"lItTlE gIrL...."
Whats this you say? They arrested him where?!
Why not a no knock raid?
They didnt bust down the door of his million-dollar home in the middle of the night?
they didnt drag his wife out of bed and press her face to the floor and scream profanities?
This guy is obviously a dangerous felon.
He’s also a member of Bloombergs “Mayors Against Illegal Guns”, which judging by the number of members under indictment, ought to be renamed “Illegal Mayors Against Guns” This has got to be one of the most criminal groups in America. Baltimore mayor was just recently charged for stealing gift cards meant for the poor.
