As we all know, you must be careful about what you put on campaign treasurer reports. This candidate for governor wasn't so careful. Click title for link to story.

A Tallahassee woman’s 15 minutes of fame running for governor against Rick Scott has resulted in her arrest Monday for elections fraud.
Yinka Adeshina, 43, who received just under 2 percent of the Aug. 26 Republican primary vote challenging Scott, is facing felony charges for submitting two fraudulent campaign finance reports with state officials.
Adeshina claimed she collected $182,080 from 408 contributors, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which conducted the investigation. The amount she claimed to have collected could have made her eligible for state campaign matching funds.
But many of the names or addresses of the purported contributors were fraudulent, investigators said.  The Palm Beach Post earlier reported that several donor’s addresses on Adeshina’s report corresponded with Publix stores and another with a Best Buy, while one donor listed had the same name as the president of Nigeria.
