Pontiac, Michigan – As part of a case to set aside a foreclosure, a Pontiac church submitted evidence to Oakland County Circuit Judge Daniel Patrick O’Brien that Sheriff Mike Bouchard and former Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson Bill Bullard Jr. signed a controversial contract without the approval of the Board of Commissioners. As a result, since April 2009, more than $2.8 million in Oakland County taxpayer funds have been going to American Process Service Inc., without lawful authorization. Bill Bullard Jr. is now the Oakland County Clerk and Register of Deeds.
The news about Bouchard and Bullard’s misappropriation of taxpayer funds was first reported on WCHB talk radio journalist Mildred Gaddis’ Morning Show on January 26, 2012. See the write-up of Attorney Arthur C. Kirkland’s interview on the Mildred Gaddis show at http://wchbnewsdetroit.com/detroit/mildredgaddis/public-corruption-in-the-oakland-county-sheriff%E2%80%99s-office-exposed-by-foreclosure-case/
On February 15, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. EST, Judge Daniel Patrick O’Brien will be ruling on the evidence that Sheriff Mike Bouchard and others violated laws that prohibit conflicts of interest, contract bid rigging, pay-to-pay/kickbacks, perjury, misconduct in office, and now, misappropriation of taxpayer funds. This evidence was filed on January 25-27, 2012 in New Jerusalem Deliverance Church v. Evangelical Christian Credit Union, case number 11-119411-CH. The public is invited to attend the hearing that will be held at the Oakland County Circuit Courthouse, 1200 North Telegraph, in Pontiac, Michigan.
