If this were a Republican, he'd be under a million dollar bond! God forbid it had been Congressman Burton! The Democrats would have hung him on the courthouse steps! 9/16/98 -- 12:10 PM Candidate accused of threats at bank won't be charged INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A congressional candidate accused of shouting obscenities and threats at a bank last week won't be prosecuted. Marion County sheriff's deputies had investigated reports that Bobby Kern threatened to get an Uzi submachine gun and shoot a Bank One employee on Thursday after he had trouble with his bank card. But Kern, 34, did nothing to further the alleged threat and ''we don't file criminal charges against people for being belligerent,'' said Beverly Phillips, spokeswoman for prosecutor's office. Jocelyn Tandy Adande, Kern's campaign manager, denied Kern threatened anyone or used obscenities, and said he does not own a gun. Kern faces longtime Republican Rep. Dan Burton on the Nov. 3 ballot in the heavily Republican district. Despite a record of convictions for theft and forgery, Kern won the May primary election over the Democrats' chosen candidate and a third hopeful. The state party unsuccessfully tried to get him off the ballot, saying the former Bobby Scott Hidalgo had deceitfully changed his name.
