Two-months after being charged with two felonies and resigning from his position as Delta township supervisor, Ken Fletcher is the top vote getter for the job from which he had resigned.
Fletcher was charged on September 4 with accosting a child for immoral purposes and using a computer to commit a crime. Police say he had sexually explicit conversations with a police officer posing as a 15-year old boy on Grindr, an LGBTQ+ dating app.
When Fletcher was charged, it was too late to remove his name from the November ballot. Two individuals, Richard Ott and Saturn Wells filed as write in candidates, however when ballots were counted, Fletcher was the clear winner with 12,114 votes. "Unassigned Write In" received 1,534 votes.
Fletcher has until December 31 to accept or refuse the seat.
