Champaign County Board of Elections deputy chair (D) jailed on federal charges
The Champaign County Board of Elections deputy director is being held in the Butler County Jail on unspecified federal charges.
Chris J. Creamer, a Democrat, was booked in the jail on Tuesday, according to jail records.
Jail records don’t list the charges Creamer is facing. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said he is being held on direction from the U.S. Marshals Service. Butler County has a contract to house federal prisoners.
An official with the U.S. Marshals Service says they are unable to release any information about it as it’s an “ongoing case.”
