A lawyer for MDHHS confirmed receipt of the subpoena, which references a felony charge of “misconduct in office.” However, as of Tuesday afternoon, a criminal charge had not been filed against Mr. Lyon, according to the report.
The subpoena, which includes a prewritten case number, was an indication to Mr. Lyon’s lawyers that he may be criminally charged in the Flint water investigation.
Mr. Lyons was aware he was a target of the criminal investigation prior to receiving the subpoena. “Our investigation into the Flint water crisis has evolved over eight months of developing subjects and targets,” wrote Todd Flood, special counsel for Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, in a Sept. 7 letter to Mr. Lyon obtained by The Detroit News. “As a result of our investigation, you have become a target, specially regarding the time frame of January 2015 to January 2016.”
