The illegal video poker investigation that caught disgraced Buncombe County Sheriff Bobby Medford and a top deputy doesn't appear to be at an end.

The federal probe has already led to more than a dozen convictions in western North Carolina. But an attorney for Haywood
County Sheriff Tom Alexander tells the Asheville Citizen-Times he
expects to talk with federal investigators soon.

Medford and former volunteer Capt. Guy Penland were convicted this week of taking thousands of dollars in payments to protect the illegal video poker operation.

At Medford's trial, a witness said he used a middleman to bribe "the sheriff of Haywood County." That has led government attorneys to subpoena records from Alexander.

His attorney said the sheriff would meet requirements of the subpoena.
