FBI special agent dies while jogging

The FBI special agent who headed an investigation into public corruption in Clay County has died.

The Lexington Herald Leader reports 46 year old Timothy S. Briggs apparently suffered a heart attack while jogging with another agent Tuesday near the FBI office in London.

The Clay County case began with a drug investigation that turned up evidence of vote-buying and corruption by public officials... including a former circuit judge, a former school superintendent, magistrates and city council members, a former mayor, a one-time assistant police chief, and two county clerks.
