[StBernard] St. Bernard Parish judge is jailed in fraud conspiracy

[Westley Annis]

At a minimum, I think you can expect to see the two lawyers get arrested.

All I can say is that for those of us who voted for and supported Greg Noto
for this position, it feels like vindication five years later. Anyone that
knows Greg knows he would have never been caught up in something like this.

Will there be more to follow?  It seems when Letten gets involved it's not
just for one person.

	Judge Wayne Cresap, right, who was arrested Friday by the FBI in a
	wire-fraud conspiracy, makes a call during the 2006 Louisiana
Judicial
	College reception in Destin, Fla.State District Judge Wayne Cresap
of St.
	Bernard Parish arrested by the FBI on Friday on suspicion of
conspiracy to
	commit wire fraud
	
	U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said the arrest resulted from "an ongoing
	corruption investigation by FBI and U.S. attorney's office."
	
	"Cresap entered into an illegal agreement with unnamed lawyers in
which
	Cresap accepted money to convert secured bonds to unsecured personal
surety
	bonds, thereby allowing the releases of charged individuals on
signatures,
	and without collateral security," a statement from Letten's office
said.
	
	The scheme to accept money to release suspects from jail "deprived
citizens
	of his honest services in the course of his officials duties, "
according to
	the charge against him.
