Earlier we learned the District Attorney bribery scheme investigation was heating up this week.

The Ind Monthly is now reporting that , “Private eye in D.A. probe says he’s schizophrenic, bipolar”

According to paper, three members of Lafayette private investigator Robert Williamson’s family, including his wife, Sonya, filed a petition for interdiction on Dec. 10, citing his mental incompetence to handle his affairs. Williamson’s family, at his request, is asking for power of attorney and to be appointed his curator because he suffers from schizoaffective disorder and bipolar type, “a severe and debilitating mental infirmity,” and has recently suffered mini strokes.

Federal agents searched Williamson’s home back in February 2012 on the same day they searched District Attorney Mike Harson’s longtime office administrator, Barna Haynes, and Assistant District Attorney Greg Williams offices.
