Incoming P.G. prosecutor vows to fight corruption

Published December 29, 2010 5:00am ET



Angela Alsobrooks says when she takes over as Prince George’s County’s top prosecutor Monday, she hopes to send a signal to public officials that her office will not put up with any sort of corruption. “We will be firm, we will be fair and we will be consistent in our prosecutions without respect for people’s title,” she said. “We don’t care who you are. If you are not law-abiding, people in this county have made it 100 percent clear to me that they do not wish to tolerate it in their community.”

Alsobrooks, 39, wouldn’t comment on the arrests stemming from an FBI probe into several high-profile county officials, including then-County Executive Jack Johnson and his wife, Leslie, now a county councilwoman.
