A former White County judge candidate and Bald Knob Justice of the Peace faced a judge today on charges that he lied on paperwork he filed to run for office.
When David Freppon decided to run for judge, he signed a pledge saying he was never convicted of a felony.
Prosecutors found out Freppon pleaded guilty to felony arson in 1969 and got a suspended sentence.
Freppon said he thought it was a misdemeanor conviction.
A judge today found him guilty of false swearing and ordered Freppon to pay a $500 fine.
