\u00a0WEST VIRGINIA – \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0A 44-year-old Charleston man\u00a0\u00a0pleaded guilty today to paying bribes to public officials and is facing up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced in June, according to federal prosecutors.<\/p>\n

\"msnlogo\"<\/a>Court documents indicate that in February 2009, \u00a0\u00a0Dwayne Allen\u00a0Hardman<\/strong> left his former business and formed another government contracting company in Chesapeake with another businessman. <\/span><\/p>\n

This corporation in Chesapeake provided support to Military Sealift Command on various telecommunications projects, authorities said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Federal officials said two Military Sealift Command officials agreed to steer contract work to Hardman’s new company in exchange for receiving bribes from Hardman and his business partner.<\/p>\n

From March 2005 and until 2007, Hardman, his business partner and others paid these two officials about $3,000 each month in cash bribes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>During this time, officials said Hardman and his business partner withdrew about $144,000 in cash, which was then given to \u00a0the two officials in exchange for their assistance in securing Military Sealift contracts and subcontracting business for Hardman\u2019s company.<\/p>\n

In May 2009, authorities said Hardman and his new business partner paid each of the two Military Sealift officials $25,000 in cash bribes.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 12, 2014, one of the Military Sealift officials, Kenny Toy<\/strong>, \u00a0pleaded guilty to accepting bribes in conjunction with this scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
