CHARLESTON, W. Va. —

Butch Bryan, 59, was convicted Friday of wire fraud, mail fraud, lying to a federal grand jury and insider trading.
Prosecutors alleged that Bryan steered an advertising contract to a Parkersburg, W. Va., firm and rigged bids so a Bozeman, Mont., company he owned stock in would win a contract to expand a video lottery statewide.
