A former Springfield mayor entered a plea of not guilty on charges of perjury and was arrested and booked into Effingham County Jail on Wednesday morning. Jeff Northway was taken to the jail after his arraignment on false swearing and perjury, and bond was set at $11,200. A grand jury indicted him last month on false swearing and perjury as a result of the candidate qualification paperwork he submitted in 2009 and his testimony in a court proceeding.
