The arrest warrant was signed Feb. 10 but Dhanji is no where to be found. Dhanji came in last place in a five-way Democratic sheriff primary in August. He was a state human relations commissioner at the time.

According to the arrest warrant, Dhanji or his cohorts gave cash to several people and asked that they write a check to his campaign in return.
