From CNN:
Mayor of Muncie, Indiana arrested by the FBI amid corruption probe
Dennis Tyler, the Democratic mayor of Muncie, Indiana, was arrested at his home on Monday morning, according to the FBI.
An arrest warrant was executed at Tyler's home at 7:30 a.m., according to Chris Bavender, spokeswoman with the FBI in Indianapolis. Tyler is currently in FBI custody, Bavender said.
Bavender referred any additional questions to the US Attorney's Office, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Not just him:
Earlier this year, the city's former building commissioner was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and money laundering, WXIN reported.
Kudos to CNN for mentioning the Mayor's political affiliation in the first paragraph. Usually, the mainstream media either doesn't mention it if they are Democrat or the reveal is buried far down below the fold.
