A 55-year-old Nevada man is facing multiple felony charges alleging that he submitted false signatures to try to qualify Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein for the November ballot in Nevada.
A court clerk said Monday that Renaldo Johnson of Las Vegas is due Feb. 7 in Clark County District Court on an indictment filed in December accusing him of petition misconduct, unlawful use of personal information and perjury.
Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske (seg-AHV'-skee) announced Johnson's arrest Friday on charges filed by the state attorney general's office.
Records show Johnson is being held on $75,000 bail at the Clark County jail.
It wasn't clear from court or jail records if he has a lawyer, and calls to a telephone number that may be associated with Johnson didn't connect.
