Government: More indictments possible in legislative kickback case | Arkansas Blog



Government: More indictments possible in legislative kickback case | Arkansas Blog:

"The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that federal Judge Timothy Brooks of Fayetteville has delayed the bribery trial of former Sen. Jon Woods  "in part because the prosecutor said the investigation is continuing and further indictments are expected."

Former Rep. Micah Neal has pleaded guilty. Ecclesia College President Oren Paris III and Woods' friend Randell Shelton Jr. have also been indicted. The case alleges state surplus money was steered to the college and Neal and Woods got kickbacks in return."
