FBI sending more agents to Muncie to probe for alleged wrongdoing

Although the FBI will not confirm or deny that an investigation is underway, Mayor Dennis Tyler and other city officials have pledged cooperation in the probe, which has been ongoing for weeks and touches on a wide array of topics.

And now The Star Press has learned that the probe has widened or deepened, with more FBI agents scheduled to be assigned to the case in the past week or so.

City officials are aware of the increased FBI investigative presence. Tyler has declined to comment to The Star Press in recent weeks, citing the FBI investigation as well as a federal court lawsuit filed by a local contractor.
