Alex Campbellâs term on the Crescent City City Council came to a surprising end earlier this month when Campbell resigned after pleading guilty to one count of election fraud.
Campbell, who was sworn into the council in January and named mayor pro tem at the same time, pleaded guilty to making a false declaration of candidacy.
The plea came after Campbell was indicted on several counts alleging he ran for the city council while he lived outside the city limits.
When he was first indicted, Campbell acknowledged he owned a home outside the city limits but claimed he was renting a room inside the city limits and spent the majority of his time there.
