Wait, why is this dude being charged with bribery when:

Following a two-year investigation, the DA’s office discovered that the two sheriffs were deliberately “refusing to release [the CCW licenses] until the applicants gave something of value.”

Unless I’m missing something, the problem is with these two sheriffs acting illegally. Were they brought up on charges for soliciting a bribe or what?

the problem is with these two sheriffs acting illegally.

When bribery happens, both sides are corrupt, both are guilty.

Yeah, this feels more like extortion than bribery, from what the article said.
