New Indictment In Clay County Vote-Buying Case
According to a new indictment released Friday, Magistrate Stanley Bowling, who was elected in 2002, was arrested Friday and added to the list of Clay County officials charged in an alleged vote-buying scheme from 2002 to 2007. Federal prosecutors say, in addition to racketeering, a new indictment alleges they conspired to launder money used in the scheme. Prosecutors are seeking $3,472,847.23, which they say represents the total of interests acquired and gross proceeds obtained through illegal acts. Bowling's arraignment is scheduled for Monday.
