From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Ald. Michael McGee was arrested Monday by Milwaukee police on a case that is being jointly investigated by federal and state authorities, officials said tonight.
McGee is under investigation for potential public corruption charges, according to sources familiar with the probe, which has been placed under seal. Further details are expected tomorrow when U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic and Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm are expected to hold a joint news conference.
It was unclear where and under what circumstances McGee was arrested, but the sources said the arrest was made earlier than planned because investigators suspected the potential for violence.
Police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz confirmed the arrest late today.
"We arrested Alderman McGee and are referring all calls on the matter to the U.S. Attorney's Office," Schwartz said.
At this point, the U.S. Attorney's Office isn't talking.
There should be details tomorrow.
Chisholm said he couldn't talk because the case is under seal.
So many questions to be answered...
Now that Junior McGee is behind bars, who will take over WNOV's "Word Warriors"?
