PORTAGE — Nearly two weeks after Mayor James Snyder was indicted on bribery and obstruction charges, the FBI returned to interview at least one city official.
"Two agents with the local FBI office briefly stopped by the police department this morning to meet with me," Police Chief Troy Williams said in a written statement after being asked by The Times.
"Given the seriousness of their current investigation, I fully expected that they would come by at some point. I cannot expound on all details of our meeting, but they did not serve any subpoenas, search warrants or indictments.
"Additionally, no members of the police department were mentioned as being the subject of their investigation," Williams said.
Snyder pleaded not guilty Nov. 18 to felony bribery, extortion and tax dodging counts, which carry the potential for long prison terms if he is convicted. His trial is expected to begin Jan. 23.
The charges came after more than two years of investigation by the FBI.
