Jack Johnson, the former Prince George’s County executive who taken into custody last November on charges of evidence tampering and the destruction and falsification of records, was officially indicted on eight counts of conspiracy, bribery and extortion today in federal court.

According to reports, Johnson stands accused of working with Tick Tock Liquors co-owner Amrik Melhi, two unnamed developers and an unnamed public official over the last several years to further the group’s financial interests in the County — in exchange, Johnson allegedly received cash, golf trips and other financial rewards.

It is expected that the indictment [PDF] will lead to further investigations into pay-to-play corruption around the county. Johnson has been under the watch of federal authorities since he and his wife Leslie were arrested last fall; on December 30, a judge agreed that Johnson no longer needed to be electronically monitored.
