BY BEACON NEWS STAFF
A North Aurora woman was arrested on bribery charges Wednesday stemming from an investigation in which she allegedly offered a city inspector $200 to overlook housing violations at a property apparently owned by one of her relatives.
Jahnnette Campos, 33, of the 2000 Block of Westover Road, allegedly offered the money during a telephone conversation on July 9.
The alleged code violations were at a home in the 400 Block of Hinman Street in Aurora and included an alleged out-of-code occupied apartment in the basement and non-compliance with city apartment registration ordinances.
A housing inspector found the alleged violations after the city received a complaint of a car parked on the property’s lawn, alleged over occupancy, and garbage cans in plain view, on June 21.
On July 9, Campos allegedly called a different housing inspector and different offered $200 to the original inspector to overlook the violations. Both inspectors reported the incident to their supervisor who then contacted police. The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office authorized the felony charge on July 12 following an investigation.
