Chicago Councilman Charged For Drugs And Murder Wins Re-Election

You would think that being arrested for drug possession and being the primary suspect in a murder case would torpedo anybody’s chances of holding public office, much less getting re-elected, but this was not the case for Robert “Coop” Battle, an East Chicago 3rd District Councilman.

Already under scrutiny by the police for a traffic stop earlier this year in which he was found to be carrying 73 pounds of marijuana and more than $100,000 in his car, Battle finds himself under investigation for the October 12th shooting death of Reimundo Camarillo Jr, with police believing him to be the culprit.
