A supporter of Democratic Kane County coroner candidate Tao Martinez claims he was bullied and intimidated by a supporter of Republican candidate Rob Russell. The Martinez supporter said the Russell supporter removed a Martinez campaign sign from his lawn, replacing it with a Russell sign.

Martinez and Russell are vying for the coroner position. The general election is Nov. 6.

Michael Knighton, of the 700 block of Gillette Avenue in Aurora, said he had a Martinez sign on the lawn of a house he rents from a family member of Loren Carrera, the chief deputy coroner.
