Denton police are discussing possible punishments for a city jailer who told a detainee on Election Day that he would be released if he voted for John McCain.
According to the North Texas Daily, the student newspaper of the University of North Texas, Aruto Ntel, 25, a senior at Texas Woman's University, was pulled over for speeding on his way to vote on Nov. 4. Mr. Ntel was arrested on an outstanding warrant from McKinney for driving without insurance and taken to the Denton County Jail.
While he was in jail, Mr. Ntel told the paper, a jail employee – presumably later identified by authorities as Mr. Saunier – "swung a key in go free in front of my face and said I could go free if I vote for McCain."
He voted for Obama, the student paper reported.
