The arrests Friday of Prince George's County Executive Jack B. Johnson and his wife suggest that a federal investigation of corruption in county government, long a subject of rumor and speculation, is reaching critical mass.
Law enforcement officials familiar with the probe, which is being overseen by the U.S. attorney for Maryland, said more arrests are expected, possibly this week.
Johnson (D), whose term ends next month, and his wife, Leslie Johnson (D), newly elected to the Prince George's County Council, were charged with destroying and tampering with evidence.
