A candidate in an upcoming Cherokee Nation run-off election was charged Wednesday with accepting an illegal campaign contribution.
CN Attorney General Sara Hill filed the charges against Bobby Slover, candidate for the District 2 Tribal Council seat. The complaint alleges he knowingly accepted a contribution of $1,000 from a legal entity, which is a crime under the tribeâs election law. An arrest warrant was issued for Slover, who turned himself into the Cherokee County Detention Center and was given a $1,000 bond.
In his affidavit of probable cause for the warrant, CN Marshal Service Investigator Erik Fuson said he conducted an interview with Jeffery McCarty at his business, Action Floors LLC. The man told Fuson he asked Slover if needed a donation to help with his campaign, to which Slover said yes. A check for $1,000 was then written to Slover by Action Floors LLC co-owner Darla McCarty from the businessâs checking account.
