Searches took place Tuesday at locations including City Hall and the Muncie Sanitary District offices. Signs posted at City Hall indicated it was closed for the day. The Star Press reports the FBI confirmed that agents also were at a home that's believed to belong to a Sanitary District official.
The U.S. attorney's office in Indianapolis didn't immediately release details about the searches Tuesday morning.
In January, a federal judge sentenced Craig Nichols , Muncie's former building commissioner, to two years in prison for money laundering and wire fraud. Last year, Tracy Barton, Muncie's superintendent of sewer maintenance and engineering, was indicted on fraud-related charges .
