Latino Democratic presidential candidate and New Mexico governor Bill Richardson lost one of his campaign aides when it was revealed that he used to work for a legal brothel in Nevada and was wanted on a felony arrest warrant in California.
Kristian Forland, the campaign’s eastern Nevada field director, is being sought by Los Angeles County authorities for failure to appear on four counts of writing bad checks. Forland also was arrested twice, once last year and again last month, in his home of Elko, Nev., on a similar bad check charge out of Las Vegas.Forland also was investigated by Elko police after women working at Mona’s Ranch, a legal brothel, complained he was shorting them on their pay. An investigator described Forland as “at best a manager of the property,” according to a June 2006 police report obtained by the AP.
