Democratic Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon was arrested Wednesday and accused of taking bribes totaling more than $48,000 from FBI agents who posed as real estate developers doing business in Charlotte.

Cannon stands accused of accepting a bribe of $12,500 dollars from an undercover FBI agent, which Cannon wanted to use to develop a feminine hygiene product called "Hers." Cannon agreed to accept the "zero percent return-on-investment" money for "Hers" in exchange for offering the FBI agent assistance with zoning and obtaining a permit to open up a nightclub.

Cannon and the FBI agent had dinner together in December of 2012. At the dinner Cannon asked the FBI agent to invest in "Hers." The agent said he would do so in return for help with zoning and getting a nightclub permit, according to the FBI.
