Ken Cannon, fringe candidate for Kansas governor, acquitted of impersonating a cop

Ken Cannon, Kansas’ most criminally charged gubernatorial candidate, has beat his first charge in court! The slippery would-be governor was found not guilty by a Salina judge of falsely impersonating a police officer during a telephone conversation … with a real police officer.

The Reform Party candidate was accused of calling up Salina investigator Sean Furbeck on February 15 and identifying himself as “Officer Schoen” of the Manhattan Police Department. Furbeck then allegedly told Cannon who he was, and Cannon ended the call.
