Former city managers face criminal charges in Flint water crisis
US prosecutors filed charges Tuesday against high-ranking officials in the contaminated water probe in the Midwestern city of Flint. Darnell Earley and Gerald Ambrose, who were in charge of the Michigan city's finances and management at the time of the water contamination, face three felonies and one misdemeanor count for allegedly borrowing money under false pretences on behalf of Flint and forcing a switch of the city's water source as part of the financing scheme. Earley and Ambrose could face up to 46 years in prison if convicted.
