Jamaica-born Lauderhill Vice Mayor Richard Campbell was offered a US$7,500 bail bond when he appeared in Broward County bail bond court on Tuesday morning.
The judge found probable cause to sustain the charges against the 70-year-old, who has been charged with simple domestic battery and felony tampering with or harassing a witness or victim. Campbell has since posted bond and was released from jail.
Campbell’s attorney maintained his innocence and argued that the allegations are politically motivated, coming as Campbell seeks re-election to Lauderhill City Commission Seat 4. The case reportedly involves Campbell’s ex-girlfriend and an alleged attempt to have a restraining order against him dropped.
