BATON ROUGE — A Scotlandville developer implicated in a sweeping corruption probe by Attorney General Liz Murrill will go to trial in November.

Bradley Brown, a developer for the city-parish-run Housing for Heroes program, was accused of attempting to defraud three banks of more than $1.2 million and stealing $25,000 from the city of Baton Rouge. 

Brown previously received over $6 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds approved by the Metro Council to build affordable housing for essential workers during COVID. 

The Housing for Heroes program was projected to cost over $11 million to create 36 low-income apartments for health care workers and professionals. 

Brown was previously booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for felony theft over $25,000, three counts of bank fraud, illegal transmission of monetary funds, money laundering and filing false public records.

Brown's trial is set to begin on Nov. 16.
