There’s nothing dull about politics, at least not in Tennessee, where a longtime state representative was arrested for allegedly stealing his opponent’s campaign signs — and then his opponent paid his bail. When Lovell found out the lawmaker was sitting behind bars on $100 bond, he said, “Man, I’ll pay it.”“Shoot, I felt sorry for him,” Lovell told The Washington Post. He can get out and the judge can decide what to do about it later,” Lovell told the Commercial Appeal on Tuesday night. “Yes, I did pick up the signs the other day, and I took ’em,” Todd told the newspaper. It was daylight.”The issue arose last month when, Lovell said, his campaign volunteers kept putting up signs — and the signs kept disappearing.
