A Midlothian man has been sentenced to 25 months in prison after being found guilty of falsifying federal court documents and bribing a Veterans Administration contracting officer. Javor McCoy, the 43-year-old owner of Ready 2 Go Transport Central LLC, which specializes in veteran transportation services, submitted a fraudulent criminal summons to a Dallas County Court employee in an attempt to evade a civil court appearance, according to court documents.

The manipulated document contained an electronic signature of an United States magistrate judge, which turned out to be forged, displaying also a concocted appearance date. McCoy's deceit was part of a larger scheme that involved bribing Glenn Dartone Johnson, a 50-year-old contracting officer at the Department of Veterans Affairs from San Antonio, to corrupt the VA bid process in favor of his company.

This January, McCoy pleaded guilty to the charges in both the falsification and the bribery cases. UrL. District Judge Orlando Garcia ordered that the sentences for each case, set at 25 months each, will run concurrently. Following his prison term, McCoy will face a three-year supervised release period.

Johnson, for his role, admitted to the crime of conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official on December 20, 2023, and awaits sentencing scheduled on September 19, 2024. The bribery scheme unfolded as Johnson received around $100,000 from McCoy in exchange for insider information and influence over the VA's competitive bid process, ultimately benefitting McCoy's business.

The case was investigated by the FBI and the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General, with U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza from the Western District of Texas announcing the sentencing. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Justin Chung and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Porier led the prosecution against McCoy and Johnson.
