    Wait, why is this dude being charged with bribery when:

    Following a two-year investigation, the DA’s office discovered that the two sheriffs were deliberately “refusing to release [the CCW licenses] until the applicants gave something of value.”

    Unless I’m missing something, the problem is with these two sheriffs acting illegally. Were they brought up on charges for soliciting a bribe or what?

      The grand jury also issued indictments against two county officials, Undersheriff Rick Sung and Sheriff’s Captain James Jensen, alleging that they had actually requested the bribes

      The duo from the County Sheriff’s office appeared to be the ones primarily in the District Attorney’s crosshairs, with DA Jeff Rosen stating in a press release at the time that the accused “treated CCW licenses as commodities and found willing buyers” in folks like Apple’s Moyer.
