"Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price was arrested today as a result of a 13-count indictment which claims the powerful Texas Democrat took $950,000 in bribes. Wiley�fs attorney, Billy Ravkind, confirmed that he was arrested early Friday morning and is in Federal custody. The indictment indicates Wiley received the bribes in the form of cash, cars and property and that he and his political operatives used the ill-gotten gains to commit tax and mail fraud.'

For those who may not know Price has been one of the foremost race hustlers in the Dallas area and in the nation for years. He is a real piece of work.

"John Wiley Price has been a lightning-rod for controversy for much of his political career for his bombastic and often racist statements. In 2013 he made headlines for getting into a very public battle with Dallas Country Sheriff Lupe Valdez over the promotion of a white man for a position previously held by a black woman. Perry argued that it would leave the seven-person command staff with only one African-American.

In February 2011 Price got into a a heated verbal exchange with Dallas lawyer Jeff Turner at a Dallas county commissioner�fs meeting. Turner repeatedly called Price a �eChief Mullah�f and �etribal�f, terms which Price took offense to and prompted him to ask Turner to speak to him in private. Price later stated that he interpreted �Mullah�h as �Moolah�h, similar to the racial epithet �Moulie.� The public confrontation resulted in a shouting match before Price asked out loud why all the speakers were white. When an audience member shouted, �You�'vasked respect of us. We demand respect from you,� Price said �All of you are white. Go to hell.� Price then exited the meeting and challenged the protesters to follow him outside. At this point security personnel ordered the court to be cleared.

John Wiley Price spent much of the 1980s & 90s as an �Al Sharpton of the Lone Star State,� leading numerous protests on racial-related issues. In 1991 during a protest, Price was accused of breaking the ankle of a white construction worker. In May 1992, Price was found not guilty of felony assault charges from the incident.

For twelve years, Price hosted a nightly radio show on KKDA�fs �gTalk Back, Liberation Radio.�h According to his website, John Wiley Price continued in his crusade to educate the community by serving as host of Liberation Nation KNON 89.3 for more than six years thereafter."

This couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I kinda wonder if he didn't think his notoriety and his color made him think he was untouchable.
