First Trial Tied to John Wiley Price Investigation Set for Tuesday

The first trial resulting from the FBI corruption investigation of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price is due to begin Tuesday in Austin.

Helena Tantillo, a former Dallas County contractor, is charged with lying to FBI agents about money which ultimately became the source of alleged bribes.

Price was arrested in July 2014 and charged with taking $950,000 in bribes in what prosecutors say was a scheme to use his position on the commissioner's court to enrich himself.

Price's trial is now set for September.
