The prosecutor’s office alleges Gunn diverted county workers, who were paid overtime, and used county-owned building materials to build out Bass’s store, Romulus Nutrition.

The store is not connected to Wayne County.

The charges stem from an investigation conducted after the authorities received an anonymous tip about the misuse of taxpayer funds in connection with Romulus Nutrition.
