Montgomery, AL – Federal prosecutors are seeking to revoke the bond of Country Crossing developer Ronnie Gilley, claiming he tried to bribe his former lobbyist, Jarrod Massey, a co-defendant who recently reached a plea deal with the government.
The filing Thursday by prosecutors contends Gilley violated the terms of his pretrial release. He was allowed to remain free on $500,000 bond and other conditions.
Gilley attorney Doug Jones told The Dothan Eagle that Gilley never tried to bribe anyone and that Massey has ``absolutely no credibility.''
The filing says Gilley offered money or a thing of value to persuade Massey to withhold testimony.
Gilley was among a dozen people - including four state senators - indicted in October on charges of buying and selling votes on a bill sought by bingo casino owners.
