State House candidate’s son arrested — while campaigning
MIAMI -- Campaign workers typically stand outside polling places, waving signs and shouting slogans of support for their preferred candidate.
But they are rarely arrested while trying to sway a voter.
Simeon Boykin, the son of state House candidate Roy Hardemon, was arrested outside the Kwik Stop at 6101 NE Fourth Ct. in Little Haiti about 1:45 pm on Thursday afternoon. Boykin was charged with resisting an officer without violence, having an open container of alcohol in public and consuming alcohol in a store, according to Miami-Dade corrections.
He was clad in a red “Elect Roy Hardemon for State Representative District 108” T-shirt at the time of his arrest. As of Thursday evening, Boykin was still in Miami Police custody with bond set at $1,600.
