A former Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives was taken into custody Tuesday by Indiana State Police on suspicion of stealing several ballots during a test of voting machines earlier this month.

Larry L. Savage Jr., 51, is now facing charges of removal or destruction of ballots a felony and misdemeanor theft, according to court records reviewed by HuffPost. Court records did not show an attorney representing him, and he did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Savage shared a video on Facebook on Tuesday showing him turning himself in to authorities, and he maintained his innocence, saying, I guess this is what they do to political opponents.

The truths gonna come out, Savage said in the video.
