Gantt Almost Lost More Than Bid for Senate Seat
EDITOR'S NOTE: All charges against Shawn Vallant were later dismissed, and his criminal record expunged in November 2022.
Posted — UpdatedSomeone apparently wanted to take more away from Harvey Gantt than his desire to serve in the U.S. Senate. Police arrested two men running away from Gantt's campaign headquarters early Wednesday.
The men, identified as Shawn Vallant and his roommate Gamal Jones, were apparently in the process of a burglary. One of the men claimed he had been an intern with the Gantt campaign.
When police checked their apartment they found a VCR and other equipment. The two men were charged with breaking and entering. One was charged with possession of stolen property.
