(CNN) -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, was indicted Friday on felony charges of coercion of a public servant and abuse of his official capacity.

The two counts against Perry, a Republican, stem from his threat to veto funding for a public integrity unit run by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg unless she resigned, the special prosecutor in the case, Michael McCrum, said.

The public integrity unit investigates public corruption on a statewide basis.

CNN affiliate KVUE reported that Perry will have to report to the Travis County Jail in the capital of Austin to be booked, fingerprinted and have his photo made for a mugshot.

McCrum said at a news conference that he would discuss that process with Perry's lawyers next week.

Perry can continue to serve as governor while under indictment, KVUE reported.

I'm no Rick Perry fan, but these charges seem politically motivated.

rick perry is homosexual so technically the jury was a jury of homophobes.

I will be honest. I don't know much about him at all, however I agree. He promised to veto something and did . Yawn. This is a political stunt. This will never see the court of law

It becomes obvious now that Rick Perry is just another one of Obama's cronies, as it has always been secretly suspected by all the Teaparty Bullies... The GnOP knew it all along...

So basically it comes down to this. The Travis County (Austin) DA was busted for DWI. Perry said if she didn't resign, he was withholding funding for the Travis County Public Integrity unit. The special prosecutor claims that withholding that money is abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant Below is a video of the Travis county DA. It seems to me if anyone should be under indictment for public coercion, it should be her based on the video.
