PDF: Brandon Lewis arrest report
A Hamilton County Election commissioner resigned Monday after Chattanooga police found him over the weekend passed out and “straddling a stop sign.”
“There’s really not much I can say,” Brandon Lewis, former Hamilton County election commissioner, said Monday. “I don’t want to be a distraction to the electoral process.”
Mr. Lewis, 30, was arrested Saturday night on charges of public intoxication. He was found “asleep on the sidewalk, straddling a stop sign, almost sticking in the roadway,” the police report says.
Mr. Lewis was embroiled in some controversy last week when he sent about 1,600 mailers throughout City Councilwoman Carol Berz’s district. The fliers had pictures of Dr. Berz saying she voted for a property tax increase, a stormwater rate increase and annexation.
