Sen. In Court, Accused Of Stealing Sign

Republican state Sen. John Huppenthal appeared in court Wednesday to face theft charges after he allegedly tried to take down an opponent's campaign sign on election day in November.

Huppenthal, who represents an area that includes west Chandler and parts of Ahwatukee Foothills and Tempe, claims he had the landlord's permission to remove the sign. He said the sign contained a lie about his involvement in solving air quality issues at Corona del Sol High School in Tempe.

Ruth Levin, 78, accused Huppenthal of driving up to the apartment complex where she was working, jumping out of a car and cutting down a sign that criticized his efforts to improve air quality at Corona del Sol High School in Tempe, Ariz.
