A former Williamson mayor will be sentenced
in August for lying to federal investigators.
On Thursday, Darrin McCormick was
in U.S. District Court in Charleston
McCormick was a former manager at
the Bank of Mingo branch in Williamson where officials with Aracoma Contracting
structured their withdrawals to evade federal reporting requirements, keep much
of the 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 last month shortly before he was named in a federal
information filing, indicating his cooperation with federal investigators on
the false statement charge.
He could be sentenced to up to five
years in prison and forced to pay up to $250,000 in fines on Aug. 28.
