However, he didn\u2019t resign until his term finished April 17 after he said he had been advised that state law prohibits sitting local elected officials from taking positions that were created during their term of office.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/michigan-democrat-gets-6-months-house-arrest-ballot-box-sabotage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT GETS 6 MONTHS HOUSE ARREST FOR BALLOT BOX SABOTAGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>His attorneys, Patrick Cafferty and Jillian Scheidegger, filed a motion to dismiss the case Monday.
