FBI probing corruption claims involving Chandler councilmember, former police chief says

The FBI was investigating “public corruption” allegations involving Chandler City Councilmember Jane Poston and the former president of Chandler’s police union, according to an internal city email from former Chandler Police Chief Sean Duggan.

Duggan sent the email to Chandler City Manager Josh Wright on Nov. 8. It refers to a “confidential briefing” the two had that day at which Duggan said he shared that the FBI was investigating Chandler Law Enforcement Association president Officer Michael Collins and Poston.

The Arizona Republic obtained the email after a public records request to the city.

“Information was uncovered indicating Collins and Poston may have committed violations of federal law and as such, an active public corruption criminal investigation is underway,” the email stated.
