Former Prosecutor Arrested For Bribery

Police have arrested a Delaware County attorney and his private investigator for bribery. The attorney once served as the county prosecutor. Michael Alexander and his investigator Jeff Hinds were escorted out of Alexander's office in handcuffs Wednesday. According to an FBI affidavit, between 2005 and 2007 Alexander and Hinds offered three witnesses thousands in cash to change incriminating statements against a client.

Investigators say the witnesses recorded false statements about the crime in Alexander's office and the suspects coached the witnesses on what to say. According to the affidavit, the bribery worked because the client's charges were reduced. Experts believe this may not be the only bribery incident.
