Prosecutors accuse two rural city officials of multiple election-related felonies

State prosecutors have charged two officials in the community of Pilot Station with illegally manipulating the results of city elections in October 2022 and October 2023.

A grand jury indicted Acting Mayor Arthur Heckman Sr. and City Clerk Ruthie Borromeo on eight felonies apiece for allegedly tampering with the elections and failing to report results properly.

The indictment also states that they “induced or attempted to induce an election official to fail in the official duty by force, threat, intimidation, or offers of reward.”

A listed attorney for Heckman did not return a call seeking comment on Tuesday. Borromeo does not have a listed attorney.
