LOS SANTOS — A federal grand jury has indicted Jared Emmett Whitlock, 51, a former procurement officer for Los Santos County, on charges of bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds and honest services wire fraud.
The indictment alleges that between 2021 and 2025, Whitlock accepted cash, home renovations, and travel worth more than $600,000 from three contractors in exchange for steering road maintenance and building contracts to their companies. Some of the contracts were funded with federal transportation grants.
Whitlock did not surrender as arranged and is considered a fugitive. Two contractors have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with the investigation.
The FIB Los Santos Field Office investigated the case with the San Andreas Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General.
