HAMMOND, Ind. -- A former sheriff in Lake County, Indiana will be sentenced on Tuesday for his role in a bribery scheme.
72 year-old John Buncich accepted tens of thousands of dollars in bribes from tow truck companies, in exchange for getting county business.
WGN's Nancy Loo reported a statement from Buncich in court. He called this the darkest day of his life, and he feels remorse for those he hurt or let down.
His lawyer pleaded with the judge not to hand down a stiff sentence. The defense is arguing for no more than a five year prison sentence.
Prosecutors are seeking up to 20 years behind bars.
