ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A former mayor of Stonecrest was indicted on state charges after the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office said he tried to register to vote and qualified to run for city council — all while he was “under federal supervision for a felony conviction.”

Jason Wallace Lary Sr., 63, was indicted on unlawful disclosure of voter registration information, two counts of false swearing and making false statements in connection with filing notice of candidacy or qualifying as a candidate.

The district attorney’s office said in August, Lary registered to vote and filed qualifying paperwork for the Stonecrest City Council. He signed documents stating he was not a convicted felon, according to the DA’s office.
