RENO, Nev. (AP) — A federal jury has started deliberating in Nevada in the bribery case of a former sheriff’s deputy accused of accepting nearly $10,000 in gifts to give special treatment to the jailed founder of the “Girls Gone Wild” video empire.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sue Fahami said Friday former Washoe County sheriff’s deputy Michon Mills repeatedly lied about accepting a $4,500 watch and a $5,000 gift card from an associate of Joe Francis while he was jailed in Reno on federal tax charges in 2007 and 2008.
Fahami said Mills did a lot of good work in her 19 years on the force but in this case she broke the law.
