Wayne Co. Prosecutor investigating ex-bridge inspector accused of faking reports

Earlier this summer, Wayne County was forced to close several bridges after the 7 Investigators showed you how those bridges had serious structural concerns and heavy vehicles were not following the weight restrictions. Now we’re learning more about the man who was supposed to be inspecting those risky bridges. In this Getting Around Metro Detroit Investigation, we’ve learned that the bridge inspector was fired for falsifying records and neglect of duty.  He’s also part of a federal probe for his role as a private demolition contractor, a county criminal case – and he’s been in trouble with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
