PORTAGE — Mayor James Snyder's federal trial on bribery and tax evasion charges has been postponed. The trial will now begin April 10.
Snyder's attorney filed a motion for a continuance last month saying his firm had not received discovery materials from the federal government as yet. That motion was unopposed by the federal prosecutors and granted this week by the courts.
Snyder was indicted on three separate charges in November following a more-than-two-year investigation by the FBI.
He was released on bond the same day. His trial, along with that of co-defendant John Cortina, had been scheduled to begin Jan. 23.
