A search warrant affidavit prepared by the Attorney General’s Office and made public Wednesday details an investigation into “the alleged nefarious receipt of millions of dollars of public funds over a decade-long period by individuals, including at least one high-ranking elected official.”
The high-ranking official named in that affidavit is Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton, the second most powerful member of the state House of Representatives.
Investigators from the Attorney General’s Office served search warrants on Stapleton’s home and her employer, the Albuquerque Public Schools, on Wednesday as part of a sweeping investigation into Stapleton’s financial relationship and possible kickback scheme with a district vendor that has been paid more than $5 million over more than a decade.
