Grand Old Police Blotter: Wild, Wild West Edition

Spokane's Republican mayor, Jim West, gets a visit from the feds:

The warrant is based on suspicions that West might have violated federal public-corruption laws using interstate wire communications, the newspaper reported.

The FBI obtained the warrant to search West's home after convincing a federal judge there was probable cause to believe a federal crime has been committed.

The warrant says there is sufficient evidence to believe that West "knowingly and willingly engaged in a scheme to entice others to engage in sexual activity with him through offers and grants of city of Spokane jobs, internships or appointments," the newspaper reported.

I didn't realize a job with the City of Spokane was so valuable.
