Virginia transportation officials plead guilty in bribery drug schemes
Kenneth D. Adams
Kenneth D. Adams   42  and Anthony Willie  55  pleaded guilty in Alexandria federal court this week to a fraud conspiracy  as did three contractors who paid the bribes.
Until  their  arrests this year  the two were in charge of VDOTâs office in Burke and had the power to decide which contractors were used to plow roads during snowstorms. For at least the past six years  in exchange for those contracts  the two men took a cut of the profits  according to court documents. Sometimes snow-removal-company owners paid them cash outside fast-food restaurants and supermarkets in the area. Other times  they steered money toward a landscaping company owned by  Adams .
 Adams  also admitted to selling cocaine to  his  VDOT co-workers;  his  supplier was the relative of another employee.
Lawyers for Sariri wrote in a court filing that he had contacted law enforcement about âunfair practices and essentially insider tradingâ at VDOT.  Adams  and Willie âhad a chokehold over the snow-removal businessâ in the area  lawyers Peter Greenspun and Mikhail Lopez wrote.
