Embattled Poway City Councilmember Tony Blain announced his resignation from his seat on Wednesday.
The announcement came the day after Poway residents voted to hold a recall election as Blain faces multiple felony charges.
He is charged with two counts of bribery, in addition to perjury and destruction or removal of a public record, according to a criminal complaint filed by the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.
The bribery counts against Blain, identified in the filing under his full name, Arthur Anthony Blain IV, have to do with allegations of vote trading to determine city council roles.
In the complaint, prosecutors accuse Blain of agreeing to vote in favor of appointing Councilmember Peter De Hoff as deputy mayor in exchange for “De Hoff’s vote in favor of holding a special election, rather than making an appointment, to fill a council seat vacancy.”
Blain earlier described the recall effort as “political backlash … designed to block me from fully participating in council meetings and to punish me for asking the tough questions taxpayers deserve to have answered.”
