Champaign County Board of Elections deputy director in jail on unnamed federal charges
Champaign County Board of Elections deputy director Christopher Creamer is being held in Butler County Jail on federal charges. But it's not clear what those charges are.
The Butler County Sheriff’s Office has a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service to house federal inmates. Butler County’s website doesn’t list any charges, though he’s been in custody for nine days.
Champaign County Board of Elections Director Meredith Anderson said Creamer planned to take vacation time off last week through the end of this week, and he called in sick on March 10. He was arrested that evening.
Anderson said the authorities haven’t disclosed anything to their office.
