He contested the 2001 Tainan municipal election as an independent, and was not elected to the Tainan City Council. During that election cycle, Shih was indicted by the Tainan City Prosecutors' Office on corruption charges.[2] The Supreme Court ruled on charges of bribery against Shih in July 2005, sentencing him to eight years and six months imprisonment.[3]
