Harford Mayor Eddie Perez vowed today to fight a new volley of corruption charges stemming from a longtime corruption investigation.
At a late afternoon press conference at his Hartford lawyer’s office, Perez said he had no plans to resign and asked residents to not rush to judgment until he has had his day in court.
Perez’s attorney, Hubert Santos, said the warrant was signed as part of the state’s investigation into allegations surrounding former state Rep. Abraham Giles.
Giles’ attorney did not immediately returned a call.
A spokesman for the chief state’s attorney’s office says no arrests are planned today. The spokesman declined further comment.
Since 2007, state investigators have been looking into a no-bid parking lot deal between the city and Giles, a Perez supporter. (AP)
