KBI conducting criminal probe of Unified Government of WyCo/KCK personnel
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant on the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas in connection with allegations made against “certain personnel” within the local government, the state agency said in a statement Wednesday evening.
Unified Government spokeswoman Krystal McFeders said in an email that the mayor’s and county administrator’s offices were fully cooperating with investigators. She said the UG was otherwise unable to comment, citing KBI’s ongoing investigation.
Details concerning the nature of the investigation or its full scope were not released by the state agency. The KBI says the warrant was served Wednesday as part of an ongoing investigation initiated after the Wyandotte County District Attorney’s Office “received information, reviewed it, and determined an investigation was warranted.”
The KBI says its investigation was opened on June 23.
The KBI also noted no arrests had been made in connection with the investigation as of Wednesday. Further information was not immediately available.
