FBI Agent Erased Evidence - Imagine That! Judge rules ex-state senator's corruption case can proceed, says FBI investigator may face criminal charges

"Woods; Oren Paris III, president of Ecclesia College in Springdale; and consultant Randell G. Shelton Jr., formerly of Alma, are accused in a federal indictment of participating in a kickback scheme involving state grants. The Justice Department alleges Paris paid Woods and then-state Rep. Micah Neal, R-Springdale, kickbacks in return for $550,000 in grants from them to his Ecclesia College from 2013 through 2014."



Judge rules ex-state senator's corruption case can proceed, says FBI investigator may face criminal charges:

"FAYETTEVILLE — A U.S. district judge denied defense motions to dismiss the corruption case involving a former Arkansas legislator, revealing in his court order that the chief FBI investigator in the case is under investigation and may face criminal charges.

Special agent Robert Cessario had the hard drive of the computer used in investigating former state Sen. Jon Woods, R-Springdale, wiped after being ordered to turn it over for investigation.

Judge Timothy Brooks noted in Friday's ruling that Cessario's actions were being investigated by the FBI's Office of the Inspector General and he could be criminally charged."
