Crebs accepts plea deal
RIVERSIDE - A co-conspirator named in the indictment of John "JP" Pomierski has agreed to testify against the former Upland mayor.
Jason Roy Crebs, 38, of Upland changed his original plea of not-guilty to guilty of bribery charges on Monday as part of a plea agreement.
Crebs pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to aiding Pomierski in demanding and accepting bribes from the owners of the former Chronic Cantina building in order to re-issue a previously revoked conditional use permit.
The Upland City Council revoked the restaurant's conditional use permit in April 2009 because of alleged unruly behavior among patrons.
Crebs will be sentenced Oct. 17.
