A Democrat State Senate candidate in Indiana was busted by police after apparently being unable to keep his nose clean while campaigning.
As WTHR reported, The Fishers Police Department received a call on April 26 regarding a man who was soliciting a neighborhood in the 13000 block of Ravenswood Trail, around 8 p.m.
Once police officers arrived, they found 39-year-old Andrew Dezelan in his vehicle at the neighborhood’s clubhouse.
When officers asked Dezelan why he was in the neighborhood, he could not provide a clear answer. But he did say he received permission from HOA board member.
FOX 59 reports that Dezelan posted multiple times to his social media accounts that he was canvassing the neighborhood as part of his election efforts.
Court documents obtained by WTHR reveal that Dezelan was speaking rapidly and making very quick, nervous and unorganized movements. Moreover, he was sweating and his pupils were “pinpoint.”
The court documents note that these are signs of someone under the influence.
After a responding officer requested ID from Dezelan, he claimed that he needed to leave and slammed his vehicle in reverse.
