Fall River, Massachusetts, Mayor Jasiel F. Correia II, a Democrat, is considered a rising political star in the Massachusetts Democratic Party, but his ascent may have come to a sudden halt.
Correia on Thursday was arrested by federal agents on allegations that he stole almost a quarter of a million dollars from seven people who invested in his start-up company.
He allegedly spent the money on “adult entertainment, airfare, a dating service, designer clothes, hotels, jewelry, trips to casinos and a Mercedes-Benz,” the Washington Post reported.
Correia pled not guilty to 13 counts of wire and tax fraud, telling reporters, “Not my best Thursday.”
