GREENBELT, Md. A Virginia man who works at Walter Reed Army Medical Center has been indicted, along with a contractor, in a bribery scheme involving contracts for work at the Washington military medical center. Forty-five-year-old Kevin Roach of Fredericksburg is accused of accepting thousand of dollars in cash and the use of a pickup truck from contractors in return for steering work to the contractors. Roach and 40-year-old Louis Pisani were charged in an indictment unsealed yesterday in federal court in Maryland. The indictment charges the men with conspiracy and obstruction of justice. According to the indictment, Roach accepted payments from Pisani and another contractor -- typically ten percent of the value of the contract. Copyright 2006 Associated Press.
