Following consultation with counsel, Weddington agreed to cooperate with the FBI and Franklin County prosecutor Ron O’Brien’s office. The first step in that cooperation was an agreement to resign his elected position in the Ohio General Assembly, which he did on March 13, 2012. Also, Weddington withdrew his candidacy for re-election and requested that his name be removed from the November ballot. Prosecutor O’Brien commended the efforts of the FBI Special Agents involved for their work during the investigation and said that his research found no case of an Ohio General Assembly member being indicted for bribery in almost a century.

FBI Special Agents conducted an investigation on potential legislative misconduct following information that was brought to the attention of the agency regarding payday loan legislation that was being discussed in the Ohio Statehouse. The information later mentioned by an FBI spokesperson as the cause for the probe was an email that Weddington requested that a lobbyist representing the payday lending industry provide him with “serious cheese” or provide an appropriate suite for an scheduled Cleveland Cavaliers game. The FBI also pointed to an email that Weddington wrote in the month of September, in which the lobbyist asked him which associations could be approached to solicit money in connection with his involvement in a DNA testing bill.
