Former Fla. state senator arrested for violating election laws [View all]
Former GOP Florida state Sen. Frank Artiles was arrested on Thursday for allegedly violating election laws in last year's state senate race.
Local station WSVN reports that Artiles is facing multiple charges including illegal campaign contributions.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle has alleged that Artiles planted a shadow candidate in the Florida Senate District 37 election to defeat Democratic incumbent José Javier Rodriguez.
"What is a crime is making illegal campaign contributions to get a candidate to run," Fernandez Rundle said.
