Prosecutors clear Gilbert Council Member Scott September

Poll workers had accused him of stealing campaign signs

Outgoing Gilbert Town Council Member Scott September will not be charged with theft of campaign signs, an allegation political opponents made after an Election Day incident from August. 

The City of Phoenix Prosecutor’s Office reviewed the police report upon referral from the town of Gilbert after the town determined the matter required outside counsel for review because town attorneys had a conflict of interest in investigating a council member. The Phoenix prosecutors decided based upon review of the report not to file any charges. 

September released a statement saying the finding validated his assertion he did nothing wrong.
