Owen-Williams had been warned that Abrams was a sleaze

Adol Owen-Williams made a mistake when he thought that Steve Abrams would respect a gentlemen's agreement.

He'd also been warned that Abrams is a sleaze.

According to the Gazette, "Owen-Williams also said he and Abrams had a 'handshake agreement' that Abrams would reimburse him for the $5,000 campaign expenses he had accrued during the primary campaign.

"'I trusted his word and didn’t get a written contract,' Owen-Williams said. 'I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was a decent, honorable human being even though I’d been warned he wasn’t.'"
