Rural Va. sheriff pleads guilty to racketeering
Court Alerts
A rural Virginia sheriff accused of taking bribes in exchange for promising not to interfere with a cockfighting ring has pleaded guilty to racketeering.
According to court documents, former Page County Sheriff Daniel Presgraves entered the plea Friday. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
Presgraves had faced racketeering, conspiracy and other charges, including that he sexually assaulted and harassed female employees. Another indictment in June charged him with lying to an FBI agent.
Those charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement.
