FLINT, MI -- Two state employees were arraigned late Wednesday afternoon on charges stemming from an investigation into Flint's water crisis.
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality employees Stephen Busch and Michael Prysby were arraigned in Genesee County 67th District Court on Wednesday, April 20.
A third man charged in connection with the water crisis, Flint utility worker Michael Glasgow, has not been arraigned yet.
Prysby and Busch are charged with misconduct in office, conspiracy to tamper with evidence, tampering with evidence, a treatment violation of the Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act and a monitoring violation of the Safe Drinking Water.
The pair face up to five years in prison on the misconduct charges.
Glasgow is accused of tampering with evidence when he allegedly changed testing results to show there was less lead in city water than there actually was. He is also charged with willful neglect of office.
Both Busch and Prysby plead not guilty to the charges. Bond was set for both men at $10,000 personal recognizance bonds for each of the six charges they face.
Busch was represented by attorney Mark Kriger and Prysby was represented by attorney Richard Hillman.
Busch and Prysby said only their names at the brief arraignments.
Prysby and Busch are due back in court on May 4 at 9 a.m. for a probable cause hearing in front of Genesee District Judge Jennifer Manley.
