RALEIGH, N.C. -- Two former district attorneys have been indicted in a wife-swapping case, according to Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman.
Former Rockingham County District Attorney Craig Blitzer and former Person/Caswell County District Attorney Wallace Bradsher were charged one count each of misdemeanor failure to discharge the duties of their office.
Blitzer and Bradsher were indicted by a Wake County Grand Jury on Tuesday.
The former prosecutors are accused of hiring each other's wives and allowing them to collect substantial salaries for little work.
