Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason said Kratochvil, 64, was indicted earlier Wednesday after investigators traced a menacing phone call received by a defendant who will also serve as a witness in the case. Mason said that as the defendant sat in a courtroom Monday preparing to plead guilty to bribery and theft, an anonymous person called his cell phone and ordered him to “plead the Fifth” if he valued his health and safety.

Vendors plied high-ranking local ODOT officials with cash, vacations and sex with strippers in return for state contracts.
