New York has had mayors who resigned to flee the country to avoid indictment (Walker and O'Dwyer).

Walker, a Tammany man, resigned after horrendous scandals involving the NYPD and the judicial system when three men whom Walker couldn't touch triple-teamed him out of office: Cardinal Dennis Patrick Hayes, the Catholic Archbishop of New York, Judge Samuel Seabury, who was the dean of the Republican Episcopal establishment, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was the Governor of New York.

In the next election in 1933, Fiorello La Guardia, a Republican, won by forming a fusion ticket, and his eventual legacy was the destruction of Tammany Hall.
