MELTON BLASTS FEDERAL CHARGES
Feds Prosecuting a Crime He Was Acquitted Of, Mayor Says
A day after being indicted by a federal grand jury, Jackson Mayor
Frank Melton belittled the charges as lacking heft despite their
heavyweight appearance.
After more than a year of investigating Melton, the U.S. Department
of Justice announced Wednesday that Melton and his police bodyguards
Marcus Wright and Michael Recio had been charged with two civil
rights violations and a gun charge as a result of their role in
wrecking a duplex on Ridgeway Street in west Jackson.
