STOCKTON - A volatile former Lodi trucking firm dispatcher accused of forcing drivers to secretly pay him in exchange for prime routes appeared in court Thursday for arraignment in what prosecutors believe is the county's first reported case of commercial bribery.
James Canclini, 41, of Lodi was also arraigned on charges of making criminal threats, threatening a witness and failing to file tax returns on the money he earned in the alleged bribery scheme, according to the felony warrant used to arrest him Wednesday.
"I don't want that going on here," said Terry Tarditi, owner of T&T Trucking, who fired Canclini in June and then called in the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office to investigate. "I suspected it was going on, but I couldn't prove it."
