PROVO, Utah -- Embattled Provo Councilman Steve C. Turley is facing an ethics investigation in addition to 10 felony charges after he refused to resign.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/qaYt6O ) Provo Mayor John Curtis gave Turley until the end of business Monday to resign and avoid the probe. Curtis says he still will call off the investigation if Turley resigns.
Turley is charged with seven counts of communications fraud, two counts of exploitation of a vulnerable adult and one count of a pattern of unlawful activity. Authorities allege Turley defrauded people in real estate deals, including one over the age of 65 and another who is mentally disabled.
A telephone message left for Turley on Tuesday morning was not immediately returned.
