A Philadelphia political consultant was arrested Wednesday for charges related to forging signatures on political nomination petitions to get his clients on the ballot for the 2019 Democratic primary in Philadelphia.

Rasheen Crews, 46, was the subject of an investigation by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General that started in September 2019. It is not clear why the charges are coming three years later. According to a criminal complaint, the investigation happened largely in the spring of 2021.
