Evansville school board candidate arrested on warrant, released
EVANSVILLE – An Evansville school board candidate and right-wing podcaster who'd had a warrant out for his arrest for nearly a month was arrested and quickly released from the Vanderburgh County jail this week. Ken Colbert, 62, was booked at 2 p.m. Tuesday. Court records show he bonded out later that day.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Vanderburgh County Clerk Dottie Thomas reported Colbert to police in February, saying he registered to run for a Republican state convention delegate seat despite knowing he was ineligible to seek any office under the party banner.
