Three GOP officials arrested in election office shoving
August 2, 2004
Benton (AP) -- Polk County Sheriff's officers have arrested two county election commissioners and the county Republican Party chairman in a ballot box scuffle.
Election Registrar Sula Jenkins says commissioners Bill Frady and Steve Gaddis "manhandled" her. Jenkins is a Democrat, Frady and Gaddis are Republicans.
The registrar says the commissioners wrested a ballot box from her grasp Saturday as early voting ended for the state primaries and snapped an extra padlock on it.
She says GOP Chairman Ronnie O'Neal tried to interfere with a clerk who was calling 911 about the disturbance.
Deputies charged Frady and Gaddis with assault and arrested O'Neal on disorderly conduct and official misconduct.
All three were released in lieu of $1,000 bonds.
