DePasquale admitted to scheming with former McCook Mayor Jeffrey Tobolski to extort a pair of business owners for more than $85,000 in bribes.

DePasquale also admitted to scheming with Tobolski to squeeze a second business owner in McCook for $1,000 monthly bribes from 2015 through 2019. According to the plea deal, when that business owner asked DePasquale what would happen if he didn't pay up, the chief said"it would not be good" for his company.

Tobolski resigned both of his elected positions in March 2020, weeks after his longtime chief of staff, Patrick Doherty, also was brought up on federal charges. Earlier this year, Doherty was sentenced to more than five years in prison for a bevy of bribery and extortion charges.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.Please enter valid email address to continue
