Two San Bernardino city councilmen face criminal charges in separate cases, authorities said Thursday.

Councilman Robert Jenkins, 33, has been charged in Riverside County with 18 felonies and 12 misdemeanor crimes related to identity theft and stalking, according to a statement from the Riverside County district attorney's office.
Councilman Chas Kelley, a 44-year-old running in the Nov. 5 election for mayor, faces a perjury charge for allegedly signing off on campaign finance documents he knew had false information, according to the criminal complaint filed by the San Bernardino County district attorney's office.

Prosecutors allege Kelley misrepresented the contributions received and the expenditures made by the Friends of Chas Kelley committee. Prosecutors began examining Kelley's financial records after receiving a complaint in October 2011, and the charge stems from a review of records obtained last year, according to the complaint.
