Clay County, FL —

A park ranger with the Boy Scouts has been arrested for allegedly doing something dishonorable.

The Clay County Sheriff's Office has arrested 50-year-old Mike Eble after getting a tip from his ex-girlfriend.

Through Sharon Wiggins, they found out that Eble would accept bribery money from people who were ordered to work community service hours at Camp Echokotee.

Officials are still investigating how many people were involved in the exchange, but the report further details that Eble would tell the individuals how much money it would take for him to sign off verifying that they had performed their community service hours. The individuals would then pay him the agreed amount in lieu of working the mandated hours and he would sign off on their paperwork.
