TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The City of Tallahassee has begun providing the FBI with the records requested in the latest subpoena delivered to city hall.
City officials announced Tuesday that the city already provided a portion of the records related to Adam Corey and the Edison Restaurant on Monday.
On May 31, the City of Tallahassee received their third subpoena from the FBI in regards to an investigation, focusing heavily The Edison restaurant and Adam Corey, an investor into the eatery.
City officials say they're continuing to cooperate and provide the needed documentation even though they aren't quite sure about the nature of the investigation.
"The FBI is doing their due diligence to investigate. I have no real knowledge of their investigation," said Cassandra K. Jackson, the Tallahassee city attorney. "As they see they need information, they contact the city or any other resource they believe may have the information."
The city has already submitted hundreds of thousands of records, with each subpoena differing slightly.
With the first, the FBI requested five years worth of records submitted to the city or CRA from 25 individuals, while the second called for communications with Commissioner Scott Maddox or Tallahassee's Downtown Improvement Authority CEO Paige Carter-Smith.
This most recent subpoena calls for any audit files, reports, business plans, and city commission votes surrounding The Edison, as well as all written communication to and from Corey, the city officials or employees regarding the restaurant at Cascades Park.
"Some of the information is very similar to what was previously requested," said Jackson. "It perhaps might be more in-depth as related to The Edison."
This investigation began last June, and it remains unclear how much longer it could last.
The city will provide the remaining records in the next 5-7 business days. In total, more than 10,000 records will be provided in an electronic format.
Jackson says, the city will continue to co-operate and provide any needed information to the FBI. Talgov.com/publicrecords will continue to be updated as records are publicly available.
We left messages with Corey Tuesday afternoon, but did not hear back. WTXL also reached out to the Jacksonville branch of the FBI for any details relating to this investigation, but they declined to comment.
