Georgia state Sen. Michael Williams (R), the lawmaker notorious for his disgraceful “Deportation Bus Tour” advert, became himself into prison on Wednesday after he was once indicted on fees of insurance coverage fraud and making false statements all through his gubernatorial marketing campaign.

An investigation printed that he lied concerning the servers ― that have been being used to mine cryptocurrency ― despite the fact that police didn’t say what took place to them, in step with the AJC. The insurance coverage fraud price stems from his submitting of an insurance coverage declare after he lied concerning the stolen servers.

“Senator Williams looks forward to his day in court, and I will vigorously defend him,” he instructed the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

He stated he can be rounding up unlawful immigrants in a bus embellished with indicators that stated, “Murderers, rapists, kidnappers, child molesters, and other criminals on board.”

“We’re not just going to track them and watch them roam around our state, we’re going to put them on this bus and send them home,” Williams stated within the video advert, which was once later deleted from YouTube.

The excursion drew a variety of protesters, after which laughs when the bus broke down, the AJC experiences.
