Lake County political figure Robert Cantrell was released on bond Monday following his surrender on federal fraud and tax evasion charges.
A U.S. District Court magistrate judge read the 11-count indictment to Cantrell, 65, of Schererville. He will not enter a plea to the charges until another hearing next month. He is expected to plead not guilty and demand a jury trial.
The government alleges Cantrell secretly used his job at the North Township Trustee's office to win Addiction and Family Care a lucrative public contract to provide counseling for township employees.
The government alleges Cantrell was paid by Addiction and Family Care for his help in getting the contract and that Cantrell concealed this from the trustee and concealed his income from the IRS.
