Brian Banks, an ex-felon running for state representative in Michigan's first district, has told voters he's turned his life around, but recent proceedings hint at a different story. The Democratic candidate, who had already been convicted eight times for felonies involving bad checks and credit card fraud from 1998 to 2004, is now facing a new round of legal woes.

A $3,751 judgment was imposed on him Wednesday for not paying rent at a Harper Woods abode, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Attorney Ira Auslander, who represents landlord Dan Sylvester, told the paper that Banks is responsible for bouncing two checks to pay for the residence and that his client may press criminal charges. Patch reports the home on Fleetwood Drive was used as Banks' campaign headquarters. If he intentionally wrote a bad check for more than $500, Banks could be charged with a two-year felony under the Michigan Penal Code.

In addition, Banks is also faced with the prospect of being homeless. This past week a woman had him evicted from her mother's rental property, also in Harper Woods, after repeatedly taking him to court for writing bad checks and not paying rent, Patch reports. She told Patch that Banks still needs to pay her over $1,000 in rent and court fees.

Brian Banks, an eight-time convicted felon, emerged victorious at the polls Tuesday in the race for Michigan's new 1st district state House seat, winning 68 percent of the vote with 88 percent of districts reporting.

The Democrat was opposed by Republican Dan Schulte, a Grosse Pointe Shores councilman. Libertarian Zachary Zichi, 19, had filed to run for the office in late September, but withdrew after finding out he was too young to run for office, Patch reports.

The people who live in Harper Woods and Grosse Point are rich. Obama gotta make them pay a "little bit more" to help homeless criminals like that to straighten up.
