BATON ROUGE — District 6 Councilman Cleve Dunn was indicted Wednesday morning on alleged charges connected to a corruption investigation involving CATS. 

In a 19th JDC courtroom, Dunn was indicted on two counts each of bribery and money laundering, as well as public contract fraud, illegal split commission of commodities and malfeasance in office, The Advocate reported.

He is also being charged with multiple counts of conspiracy connected to the scheme.

WBRZ previously reported that Dunn is a previously unindicted co-conspirator mentioned in indictments of former Capital Area Transit System chief administrator Pearlina Thomas and CATS contractors Jay Colar, Terral “TJ” Jackson and Erica Jackson earlier this month.

Supreme Solutions LLC, a company prosecutors say was awarded a contract by CATS — the parish’s public bus agency — and then paid for work investigators could not substantiate.

The Advocate reports that Dunn and his wife previously owned Supreme Solutions. 

Arrest documents obtained by the WBRZ Investigative Unit say the company was paid $50,000, at least $33,000 of which was converted to checks made out to “C.G." Multiple sources identified “C.G.” as Core Group LLC, a company registered to Dunn.

Mayor Pro Tem Brandon Noel said that, while saddened by the news of Dunn's indictment, he will not pass judgement onto a colleague until he has his day in court.

"I have faith in our justice system to uncover the facts and root out the truth, whatever that may be," Noel said over the phone while in Washington, D.C., where Councilman Dunn, Noel and other Louisiana lawmakers are currently visiting for Washington Mardi Gras. "Should any wrongdoing be found, I feel that all involved should be held accountable."

Noel said that it was not a shock, given previous media reports. 

Attorney General Liz Murrill said that her office expects "additional indictments based upon this ongoing grand jury investigation."
