Cash from Edwin Edwards

Fields achieved considerable notoriety in 1997 when an FBI surveillance videotape showed him accepting a large amount of cash (about $20,000) from former Louisiana Governor Edwin W. Edwards and stuffing it in his pockets. At the time Fields stated that the incident was just an innocent business transaction between friends, and said there was a humorous explanation, which he would make public shortly thereafter. A cloud hung over Fields as an unindicted co-conspirator in Edwards’ criminal trial and in the end Fields refused to deliver the promised “humorous” explanation, stating that at the time of the cash transfer, he was not an elected official, and therefore under no obligation to explain publicly.[2][3]
