EAST CHICAGO, Ind. — An East Chicago councilman charged with murder has been re-elected.
The (Munster) Times reports that 42-year-old Robert Battle ran unopposed in Tuesday’s election. He is accused of shooting Reimundo Camarillo Jr. to death on Oct. 12 in East Chicago. He also faces a federal drug charge after police say they found more than 73 pounds of marijuana and more than $100,000 cash during a Porter County traffic stop.
Lake County Sheriff John Buncich said Battle did not request an absentee ballot to vote from the jail.
Battle is seeking bail and a Nov. 17 hearing is planned. On Tuesday a Lake County judge granted prosecutors’ request for a DNA mouth swab from Battle.

Only in Amerika.
Insanity abounds!
lol…And people think Hillary won’t become president due to her ‘troubles’.
Not only will she beat this, she’s ALREADY BEEN DECIDED as the next president.
Accept it – or revolt.
I’ve been saying it all along.
Being that there is no ‘greater evil’ among the ‘candidates’, she’s definitely got to be their # 1 choice.
We’re WAY beyond subtlety on their part any longer.
you just can’t fix stupid.
