FBI reels in more than graft in Ald. Troutman bust

Hat tip to Craig of The 'Broken Heart' of Rogers Park and to The Wolf of Guards of Magog for inspiration on the headline.

Usually when Chicago aldermen are arrested--which is often--it's for stuff like bribe taking.

That's the case with Ald. Arenda Troutman. But the FBI hooked a bit more than they bargained for when they arrested her earlier this week.

From NBC 5 Chicago:

The FBI entered Troutman's home Monday and said they found several questionable items, which include three loaded guns by her nightstand, drugs/drug paraphernalia, and a bag of shredded documents.

When they searched her office, they allegedly seized a white powdery substance, a Christmas card from a police commissioner with a $100 bill in it, 11 computers, drug paraphernalia and personal correspondence, NBC 5's Mary Ann Ahern reported.

Only in Chicago.
