Son to plead guilty, testify against Pineville mayor

Published

on September 29, 2008

The son of Pineville Mayor Bob Madon, accused of being involved in a vote-buying scheme with his father, plans to plead guilty and testify against the longtime mayor.

The prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick H. Molloy, said in a motion that Brent Madon is expected to testify against Bob Madon. A federal grand charged that both conspired to buy votes with money and drugs.

Bob Madon, who had been mayor previously, ran in the November 2006 election to regain the office.

Brent Madon’s attorney filed a motion Friday asking the court to schedule a hearing for Madon to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge.

No hearing has been scheduled.
