GEORGIA<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"Naval<\/a>A man was charged with allegedly paying bribes to officials at a Georgia military base to land lucrative freight hauling contracts from the base, officials said today.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0former agent for a large national trucking company was indicted on one count of conspiracy to bribe a public official and three counts of bribery of a public official, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

Officials allege that Ivan Dwight Brannan,<\/strong> 60, of Jupiter, Florida, paid bribes to officials at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Georgia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 1999 to 2013, officials said Brannan worked as a broker for a national trucking company that delivers both commercial and military freight.\u00a0 According to the indictment, he was paid a commission for each delivery that he arranged.<\/p>\n

According to the allegations in the indictment, from 2006 to 2012, Brannan provided cash and other items of value to Mitchell Potts<\/strong>, a former Traffic Office Supervisor for the Defense Logistics Agency at the base to be awarded the contracts.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service<\/strong> and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service\u00a0<\/strong>are investigating this case, officials said.<\/p>\n

The indictment also alleges that Brannan directed truck driver David Nelson<\/strong> to provide cash to both Potts and Jeffrey Philpot<\/strong>, another official in the Logistics Base’s Traffic Office at the military base to ensure that the trucking company continued to receive the base’s business.<\/p>\n

According to the indictment, over the course of the conspiracy Nelson paid at least $120,000 in bribes to Potts and Philpot at Brannan\u2019s behest, officials said.<\/p>\n

In October 2014, Philpot, Nelson and Potts each plead guilty to one count of bribery of a public official.\u00a0 They are scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 29, officials said.<\/p>\n

Brannan’s is presumed innocent until proven guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
