Jurors See Bobby Ferguson's $2.2 Million Cash Stash

Jurors in Detroit's public corruption trial saw photographs Monday of stacks of cash, checks and certificates of deposit totaling more than $2.2 million and discovered in secret safes and strongboxes belonging to Bobby Ferguson, Jim Schaefer reports in the Free Press.

FBI Special Agent Gwen Rosenthal testified agents found the currency during raids in 2009 and 2010 inside wall safes and stashed lockboxes that Ferguson kept in his various offices and homes.

Rosenthal said one safe, holding $275,000 cash and $520,800 in CDs, was found secreted behind a wall panel in a bathroom of Ferguson's office inside Xcel Construction at the downtown Guardian Building.
