MORENO VALLEY (CBSLA.com) ? Federal and local agents Tuesday morning raided the homes of Moreno Valley?s mayor and five city council members.
The residences of Mayor Tom Owings, Jesse Molina, Richard Stewart, Victoria Baca and Marcelo Co were all served with search warrants by a joint political corruption task force, which includes members of the FBI, Internal Revenue Service and Riverside County District Attorney?s Office.
Authorities also searched the offices of Highland Fairview, a commercial developer that, according to its website, plans to build a large corporate facility in the area.
The FBI and the Riverside County DA?s Office would only divulge that the search was part of an ?ongoing political corruption investigation.?
Owings asked the public for patience and said he was innocent of any wrongdoing, according to the Press-Enterprise.
?I don?t think I?ve ever done anything wrong in my whole life,? he said.
On Tuesday night, Owings and the rest of the council members got an earful from angry residents at a regularly scheduled meeting.
