The AP has this story that federal indictments were announced today by U.S. Attorney John Brownlee of the W.D. Va. against former Buchanan County officials and contractors for a bribery scheme related to contract work for flood disaster relief in the area of Hurley, Virginia.
The Bristol paper has this account, with this link to a copy of the indictment. The article notes that the investigation was called "Operation Big Coon Dog," because one of the bribes involved coon dogs.
