Don’t mock the party comrade, because we’re watching, and waiting for you
to slip up. When you do, we’ll make you regret it!
Yours truly,
The mayor.
PEORIA — Not long after learning about the parody Twitter account @Peoriamayor, the city’s real mayor, Jim Ardis, told police he wanted to find out who was publishing sometimes vulgar messages there, according to a search warrant filed Thursday.
The warrant, filed in Peoria County Circuit Court, details a two- to three-week process whereby Peoria police tracked down the location of the Internet address used for the account as well as the identity of the person who paid for the Web access.
Two judges signed off on warrants to get information from Twitter and Comcast. Another judge approved a Tuesday afternoon raid of 1220 N. University St., which led to one arrest for marijuana possession but no charges related to the Twitter account or any of the posts.
Jacob Elliott, 36, of the University Street address, was held on $3,000 bond for marijuana possession. Elliott, who has no criminal record, was released from Peoria County Jail on Thursday. His next court date is May 15 for a preliminary hearing.
According to the charge, Elliott was accused of possessing between 30 and 500 grams of marijuana. No mention was made during his five-minute hearing Thursday about the Twitter account.

**************** I am blaming this on demon marijuana!!!!!!!!!!
already had been suspended for several weeks>>>>>>>>
But the idiot child mayor still wanted the evil evil evil dastardly perpetrator brought to justice!!!!!
I’ll bet this is one of those cities who refuse to coopretae with the Feds on crminal illegal aliens because the police are already “too burdened as is”
Look where it got Steve Bridges...
Not a crime unless it was for monetary gain.
A great avatar of "the mayor" on the new facebook page.
Lawyer up and sue the mayor, the arresting officers, whoever executed the warrant and the village of Peoria. This just won’t sell in Peoria.
Between 30 and 500 grams? They certainly narrowed it down. Time to go into mocking overdrive.
