Former Detroit-area mayor pleads guilty in bribery case involving contractor, foreclosed properties


A former suburban Detroit mayor who lost reelection amid corruption allegations pleaded guilty Tuesday to a bribery scheme involving foreclosed homes and a favored contractor.

Rick Sollars was accused of receiving cash and home renovations worth more than $40,000 in exchange for recommending that Shady Awad get tax-foreclosed properties in Taylor.
