Wait, why is this dude being charged with bribery when:

Following a two-year investigation, the DA’s office discovered that the two sheriffs were deliberately “refusing to release [the CCW licenses] until the applicants gave something of value.”

Unless I’m missing something, the problem is with these two sheriffs acting illegally. Were they brought up on charges for soliciting a bribe or what?

the problem is with these two sheriffs acting illegally.

When bribery happens, both sides are corrupt, both are guilty.

Extortion …

Yeah, this feels more like extortion than bribery, from what the article said.
