Sadly, it follows a very familiar pattern if you\u2019ve been paying attention to the left\u2019s DEI circus. Back in August 2023, Brave was arrested for stealing nearly $19,000 in county funds. This \u201cstand-up guy\u201d used taxpayer money to fund his extramarital affair and bankroll romantic trips to Boston and Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark filed bogus claims for airfare, hotels, and meals\u2014all while conveniently covering up the fact that he wasn\u2019t exactly traveling solo\u2026 or with his wife. He actually doctored receipts to hide the identity of his mistress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But don\u2019t worry\u2014it gets worse\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sheriff Brave flat-out lied to a grand jury. He spun stories about attending official events, meeting a US congressman, and, of course, denied his mistress was anywhere near those trips. All lies. One Boston getaway, supposedly for a \u201ccharity fundraiser,\u201d turned out to be nothing more than a romantic dinner cruise with his side piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=gf9RHNCUL1E%3Ffeature%3Doembed\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the disaster you get when being the first matters more than being the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fosters Daily Democrat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Mark Brave, former Strafford County sheriff, has reached a deal in which he could avoid prison while pleading guilty to to&nbsp;multiple felony charges&nbsp;for stealing county money he used to fund trips connected to his extramarital affair and lying about it to a grand jury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, sentencing for perjury charges will be left to the discretion of the court and could still result in prison time for Brave, according to Attorney General John Formella. Both the state and the defendant will present arguments on the perjury charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brave faces a maximum penalty of 7-14 years in prison and fines of up to $8,000 on the perjury charges.
