After taxpayers were deprived of more than $1.5 million, officials are talking about the results of their investigation into 'systemic public corruption' by Muncie City Government Officials.
MUNCIE — The U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI are talking about the results of their investigation into"systemic public corruption" by Muncie City Government Officials.
Federal authorities say Tyler, Nichols, Barton and Grigsby, under the"corrupt influence" of Phil Nichols, engaged in bid-rigging and kickback schemes. Phil Nichols was charged and entered into an agreement to plead guilty, but died before his case was resolved. This public corruption probe is completely separate from the U.S. Attorney's Office case against current and former Muncie Police Officers for police brutality and writing false reports.
WRTV asked at the news conference whether the restitution has been paid, and the U.S. Attorney did not know the answer and later referred WRTV to the clerk's office. United States v. Tracy Barton: Mr. Barton was the Superintendent of Sewer Maintenance and Engineering at the Muncie Sanitary District. He admitted to accepting bribes and kickbacks in exchange for steering work to a contractor, who was a close friend.
