DETROIT — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed two charges of willful neglect of duty against former Gov. Rick Snyder on Wednesday, a day before her office is set to announce new details in the Flint water crisis investigation.
Court records show the charges stem from an alleged offense on April 25, 2014 — the day Flint began using the Flint River as its new water source.
Each charge is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison or a fine of $1,000 or less.
Nessel spokeswoman Kelly Rossman-McKinney said she could not confirm or deny the charges. Snyder's attorney did not return requests for comment Wednesday.
