CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / SAN BERNARDINO
Former San Bernardino County Assessor Bill Postmus was named Tuesday in a sweeping criminal complaint ranging from drug charges to misappropriation of pub- lic funds.
Former county assessor’s employee Gregory Scott Eyler also was also charged in the case. Eyler was arrested and is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail, but Postmus was not taken into custody. He will be arraigned Thursday on 11 felony counts, including grand theft .
Eyler faces similar charges, none drug-related, however.
The charges filed Monday in San Bernardino County stem from a 30-page investigative report detailing years of alleged criminal activities in the assessor’s office.
