Acquitted on federal corruption charges just weeks ago, Assemblyman William Boyland Jr. was again arrested on new charges. It is alleged that he solicited money illegally to pay for the legal expenses of previous charges. He is accused of having soliciting more than $250,000 in payoffs from an FBI informant posing as an amusement park business man.
