Yes, the linked article doesn't mention it, but he was federally indicted: https://www.justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/philadelphia-man-charged-impersonating-usps-mail-carrier-possessing-usps-arrow-keys-and

The article also seems to have gotten the dates wrong; it sounds like he was operating at least July-November 2022.

If you're At-Large or get a legit primary opponent, you have to campaign, too. But don't have to resign.

I personally think the downsides of having (in-effect) DCC-selected replacement council members, who then are "incumbents" in the regular cycle, and having so many top offices empty out at once, are worse than the downsides that resign-to-run is supposed to prevent.
