George’s County Executive Jack Johnson and his wife, county councilmember-elect Leslie Johnson, after raiding Johnson’s home and offices on Friday.
Federal agents executed 13 search warrants today as part of a far-ranging, two-year investigation into corruption in Prince George’s County government related to land and housing deals, according to a federal law enforcement source.
WTOP is reporting that a source close to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Baltimore says the investigation is linked to a developer who sought to involve Jack Johnson in a land deal at the Greenbelt Metro station. The investigation is also linked to the transfer of a residential property involving Jack Johnson, the source says.
The source said the Johnsons were arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice and evidence tampering after allegedly destroying evidence related to probe. Jack Johnson was led away from his home in handcuffs this afternoon.
A plumber called to the Johnson residence said he was called by the FBI to see if any evidence had been flushed down toilets. Shortly before he left the home, the plumber said he hadn’t found anything in the search. He was on the scene for about 45 minutes.
