The mayor of Rochester, New York is under fire.

Lovely Warren was indicted on Friday on campaign finance charges stemming from her re-election campaign three years ago, officials said.

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley announced that Lovely Warren is facing two felonies, including scheming to defraud in the first degree and violation of election law. Also charged were Warren's treasurer Albert Jones, Jr., and the treasurer of her political action committee, Rosalind Brooks-Harris.

Warren has not been arrested but will processed, Doorley said. If convicted, she would be removed from office.
America's crossroads. The death of Daniel Prude sparked a few nights of unrest in Rochester.
"This could be a long process and we anticipate that there could be challenges along the way so I don't think this will be anything resolved quickly," Doorley said.

Warren has called the investigation a "political witch hunt." Her lawyer offered no comment to the junk food media.

Specifics about the ongoing investigation were not revealed but the charges focused on Warren's first term in office from November 2013 through November 2017 in which she raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for her reelection.

Doorley said the city's first female mayor and others took steps to evade contribution limits.

The New York State Board of Elections has been investigating the mayor over financial interactions between a political action committee that supported herr reelection and her campaign committee. At one point, the Warren for a Stronger Rochester PAC transferred $30,000 from the group to Warren's committee, Friends of Lovely Warren, according to 2017 expenditure reports obtained by the junk food media.
Monroe County prosecutor indicted the mayor of Rochester.
Under state rules, PACs and committees are forbidden from coordinating. Warren claims the funds were mistakenly placed in the PAC account.

The indictment comes as Warren, a Democrat faces political turmoil over the city's handling of the death of Daniel Prude, who died after a police encounter in which a hood was placed over his head to keep him from spitting.

He stopped breathing after he was held down by officers and taken off life support a week later.

Warren suspended seven police officers with pay amid an ongoing investigation and the top leadership of the Rochester Police Department resigned last month. In addition, she permanently relieved the police chief of his duties before he was slated to retire.

Critics accused the city and police officials of a cover up. They didn't release the video in fear this would spark intense protests and unrest. The family of Daniel Prude is suing the city and the cops for his death.

The death was ruled a homicide.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
