Perjury charges not stopping Chris Blair from running for sheriff

MARION COUNTY, Fla. — The suspended former sheriff of Marion County, who was arrested last month, is running for re-election.

Chris Blair has filed all the necessary paperwork to run for sheriff again.

Blair was in court Wednesday entering a not-guilty plea on perjury charges.

Investigators said Blair lied under oath, saying he didn't see a suspect who had been roughed up by deputies, but they said he was caught on camera looking at him.
