An Erwin alderman has resigned his post the same day he pled guilty to a felony charge. 57 year old Edd Bolton admitted in Unicoi County Criminal Court to vandalism over one thousand dollars, which disqualifies him from holding public office. The charge stems from an incident in 2007 in which he rammed the truck of a man who was visiting his then ex-girlfriend. Bolton was sentenced to ten days in jail plus two years on probation. He will begin serving his sentence on October 16th.
