Birmingham, AL – The FBI says Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford was arrested Monday on federal charges that were not immediately disclosed.
FBI spokesman Paul Daymond said Langford was taken into custody around 7 a.m. by FBI agents in Birmingham.
U.S. Attorney Alice Martin declined to comment on the charges but scheduled a news conference for 10 a.m. with criminal investigators for the Internal Revenue Service.
An attorney for Langford, Thomas Baddley, is expected to release a statement later Monday.
