Why is there nothing about his being caught in a sting selling drugs to prostitute last year? Is he preventing it from being posted. It’s not fake news. Alexandermoir (talk) 20:10, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that link regarding his widely publicized arrest on 2 felony charges by the U.S. DEA, was added in 2020. It was apparently added by one Wikipedia editor, and then removed by anonymous IP editor (69.117.238.121), in Huntington Station, near where Spencer lives... I have restored the deleted edit and will add more references to the article. This was apparently removed by an interested party...Here is another link of the arrest announcement... https://longislandbusiness.com/2020/10/suffolk-da-suffolk-county-legislator-arrested-for-allegedly-offering-illegal-drugs-to-prostitute-in-exchange-for-sex/.

The drug charges are still very much pending according to the Suffolk County criminal court website (https://ww2.nycourts.gov/COURTS/10jd/suffolk/dist/crimindex.shtml). You are a public figure. Accept it.

The drug charges were dismissed and now not pending. There are no felony convictions. Anyone can be charged with a crime that is the criminal justice system but if the charges are dropped leaving this information on Wikipedia is highly inflammatory and ruin a persons reputation and career and should not appear on their Wikipedia page.Cite error: There are <ref>
