Georgia state Sen. Michael Williams (R), the lawmaker infamous for his disgraceful “Deportation Bus Tour” ad, turned himself into jail on Wednesday after he was indicted on charges of insurance fraud and making false statements during his gubernatorial campaign. Williams, who was indicted on Dec. 20, is accused of lying when he reported to police that $300,000 computer servers were stolen from his campaign office before his failed primary bid back in May. An investigation revealed that he lied about the servers ― which were being used to mine cryptocurrency ― though police didn’t say what happened to them, according to the AJC. The insurance fraud charge stems from his filing of an insurance claim after he lied about the stolen servers.
