DEFIANCE, Ohio - Elections officials knew something was wrong when they got voter registration cards for Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, Michael Jordan and
George Foreman.
They notified the Defiance County sheriff, who arrested Chad Staton on Monday on a felony charge of submitting phony voter registration forms.
Investigators also were looking into allegations that he was paid with coc aine in exchange for his efforts.
Staton, 22, had fraudulently filled out more than 100 voter registration forms, Sheriff David Westrick said.
"Staton was to be paid for each registration form that he could get citizens to fill out," the sheriff said. "However, Staton himself filled out the
registrations and returned them to the woman who hired him from Toledo."

In addition to the celebrity forms, it is believed that he may have filled out at least 100 others. Instead of registering voters, he filed out the
forms himself and sent them in to a Toledo woman who claims to have paid him with coc aine. The false forms were then submitted to the election
board by National Association for the Advancement of Colored People�s National Voter Fund. There is no connection to the fraud and the NAACP as they
were simply turning in the forms.
