Former Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer was arrested this morning on unknown charges, though the Orlando Sentinel cites a source claiming it's for grand theft, fraud and money laundering "for his role overseeing state Republican spending."

Greer announced his resignation as chairman Jan. 5, just days before the state party's annual meeting -- during which he expected to be embarrassed by certain factions. Hand-picked by Gov. Charlie Crist to lead the party, Greer cited the divide betweeen the moderate and conservative wings of the party as the reason for his leaving.

However, Greer was effectively pushed out after complaints about his misappropriation of the party's money.
