The former mayor of Portage is set to be sentenced on Wednesday, Oct. 13, after he was found guilty of soliciting bribes.
Prosecutors say James Snyder should received 46 to 57 months in prison. Snyder was indicted back in November 2016.
A jury convicted him more than two years ago of taking a $13,000 bribe in exchange for contracts to sell five garbage trucks to the city and using a shell company to hide income from the IRS.
He was granted a new trial, but this pasty March, a federal court jury found Snyder guilty of soliciting bribes.
