Wilmer, Texas — James Brian Sliter decided to abandon his candidacy for Mayor of Wilmer after a detective convinced him “it was in my best interest.” Sliter was arrested in 2004 after he sought to arrange a sexual liaison with what he thought was a 15-year-old girl. Sliter further added, “Based on what was told to me, it is best I don’t talk to the media about why I ran, why I withdrew and the corruption going on.”

Apparently, even fools have moments of wisdom. Although it does make one wonder what is going on in Wilmer, if a sex offender thinks he can clean up the corruption.
