Dennis Troha has been federally indicted on one count of fraud and one count of making a false statement to the FBI. It is alleged that Troha used a business entity called Johnson Houston Partners to give family members over $100,000 to make campaign contributions. These contributions were made in order to receive an Indian gaming compact.

The FBI interviewed Troha on January 12, 2007, and he stated that there was no link between the distributions of money from the Johnson Houston Partnership and campaign contributions made by family members.

Troha recently withdrew from an $808 million tribal casino project after investing millions of dollars and several years of his life. He faces up to 25 years in prison and a fine of $500,000.
