Local real estate developer Sherman Roberts pleaded guilty Tuesday to bribing two Dallas City Council members, the U. S. Department of Justice announced in a written statement.
Roberts, 70, is one of three developers in the past four years who has been charged in connection with bribery cases linked to Dallas City Hall officials, the news release said.In late 2020, Roberts, the previous head of the City Wide Community Development Corp. in Lancaster, was indicted on a charge of conspiracy to commit bribery.
Court documents show Davis pushed for Roberts’ real estate developments, including Serenity Place, Runyon Springs and Patriot’s Crossing, in exchange for thousands of dollars in cash and payments -- payouts that extended past her tenure on the council. She supported a 9% low income housing tax credit for Serenity Place and voted in favor of a $1.9 million city loan, according to the news release.
Caraway agreed to stop the city from exploring other bids for construction work in the Patriot’s Crossing project and to deliver it to Roberts, according to officials. The release said he did this for hundreds of dollars in cash as well as a $2,000 monthly stipend.
