CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon could be in more trouble with the law.
Election officials say Cannon, a convicted felon, voted on October 30th. It is illegal for convicted felons to vote in elections.
Cannon pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges on October 13th. He was sentenced to 44 months in prison. However, he did not have to immediately report to jail.
Chief US Probation Officer Greg Forest says Cannon will have to go before Judge Frank Whitney because he voted illegally. Cannon could be placed in federal custody for violating the conditions of his bond.
