CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Democratic Cincinnati City Councilwoman Tamaya Dennard has been arrested on federal charges, according to the Department of Justice.
Dennard was arrested and charged federally with honest services wire fraud, bribery and attempted extortion.
According to the DOJ, between August and December 2019, Dennard engaged in acts and attempted acts of bribery and extortion, attempting to exchange her votes for money.
“As the affidavit details, a concerned citizen contacted law enforcement following an interaction with Dennard, feeling an ethical and moral obligation to report any criminal wrongdoing,” U.S. Attorney David M. DeVillers said in a news release. “The individual then worked at the direction of law enforcement throughout this investigation. It takes courage for citizens to come forward and assist law enforcement as this individual did.”
Dennard was elected to Cincinnati City Council in November 2017.
We reached out to Dennard’s lawyer, Erik Laursen, for comment. He said he is heading to the courthouse but would not comment any further.
