Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon filed to run for Charlotte City Council Friday, Mecklenburg County elections officials said, marking his return to politics after serving 22 months in prison for bribery.
Cannon filed to run for an at-large City Council seat, WCNC Charlotte learned. He resigned from his position as mayor in 2014 after he was caught on camera admitting to taking a series of bribes totaling around $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. He was arrested in March of 2014, just 114 days into his term as mayor.
This video back at the WCNC Charlotte news archives to revisit the timeline of Cannon's arrest, sentencing, and incarceration.
