Former Texas police chief convicted in emergency radio bribery scheme involving his band Funky Munky
The former chief of police for San Angelo, Texas was convicted of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes through payments to his band “Funky Munky” in return for steering a multi-million contract to an emergency radio company.
Timothy Ray Vasquez, 52, was elected three times to be San Angelo’s top cop from 2004 until 2016, during which he advocated that the city buy a public safety radio system for nearly $6 million from Dailey & Wells Communications, a San Antonio-based emergency radio provider, prosecutors said. But while Funky Munky typically played for $1,000 to $3,000 per gig, Dailey & Wells paid between $8,000 and $50,000, according to court documents.Prosecutors said that Vasquez would deposit the checks into his own account and would often pocket large parts of it himself in cash.
