A Sycamore Township trustee and a developer have sued each other over allegations of bribery and a fake email. Morelia Group CEO Christopher Hildebrant on April 12 sued Sycamore Township Trustee Tom Weidman claiming the trustee asked for a bribe in return for support on developments. Weidman two months earlier sued Hildebrant for defamation, accusing Hildebrant of forging an email meant to look like Weidman solicited a bribe. In his suit, Weidman called the allegations "a vicious lie." Hildebrant, in a response to Weidman's lawsuit, admitted he forged the email. But his attorneys told The Enquirer they stand by the allegations against Weidman.
