Former Person County DA convicted in wife-hiring scheme now facing bribery charges
A former Person County district attorney, already convicted in a corruption case, now faces bribery charges.
Posted — Updated
A grand jury Monday handed up indictments against Wallace Bradsher for accepting a bribe and obstruction of justice related to a 2015 case when he was District Attorney.
Search warrants from the SBI obtained by WRAL show Bettie Yarboro-Jackson paid Bradsher with some of her lottery winnings to get drug charges dropped against her son.
Yarboro-Jackson was arrested Monday on charges of offering a bribe and obstruction of justice.
Bradsher, who has not yet been arrested in this case, was convicted in 2018 and served five months in prison for a scheme to give a no-show job to the wife of another DA.
