A former Williamson mayor will
spend three years on probation for lying to federal investigators.
Darrin McCormick, 50, was sentenced
in U.S. District Court in Charleston
McCormick was a former manager at
the Bank of Mingo’s Williamson branch where officials with Aracoma Contracting
structured their withdrawals to evade federal reporting requirements, keep much
of the company’s payroll off the books and bribe a workers’ compensation
auditor.
The company itself has since plead
guilty to a list of charges.
McCormick resigned from his role as
mayor in Williamson in April shortly before he was named in a federal
information filing, indicating his cooperation with federal investigators on
the false statement charge.
