Bribery and Fraud in San Antonio: A Guilty Plea
A San Antonio man has pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and bribery in a federal court case. Javor McCoy, 42, faces serious consequences after admitting to his involvement in the crimes.
According to court documents, McCoy transmitted a false and fraudulent electronic signature of a United States magistrate judge to an employee with the Dallas County Court. This was an attempt to avoid a civil court appearance in Dallas. The summons contained a fictitious appearance date for McCoy, which was a clear attempt to deceive the court.
McCoy was also charged in a separate bribery case. He owned Ready 2 Go Transport Central LLC (R2G Central), a purported Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business that provided transportation for veterans, including ambulance and wheelchair transportation. The company was involved in a bid process with the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), where McCoy allegedly paid $100,000 to Glenn Dartone Johnson, a contracting officer with the VA, to influence the bid process in favor of R2G Central.
McCoy pleaded guilty to one count of fraud in connection with identification documents or authentication features and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official. He faces a maximum prison term of 15 years on the fraud count and a maximum prison term of five years on the bribery charge.
A sentencing date has not been set for McCoy. The case is being investigated by the FBI and the VA-OIG. Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Chung and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Porier are prosecuting the case.
Johnson, McCoy’s co-defendant, pleaded guilty on December 20, 2023, to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official. He is set for sentencing on March 14, 2024.
The case highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in government contracts. It also serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of bribery and fraud in the public sector.
As the investigation continues, it is clear that those involved in such crimes will be held accountable. The people of San Antonio and the nation at large can rest assured that justice will be served.
