Two former Placentia officials were indicted Wednesday on felony conflict-of-interest charges stemming from a controversial rail project that pushed the north Orange County city to the edge of bankruptcy.
After an 18-month investigation, the Orange County district attorney's office obtained grand jury indictments against former Public Works Director Christopher Becker, 46, of Rancho Santa Margarita and retired City Manager Robert D'Amato, 69, of Placentia.
