BRIDGEWATER, Conn. (AP) - Nearly two years after the FBI raided Bridgewater’s town hall, local officials say they have been told the investigation is closed and no criminal charges will be filed.

The Danbury News-Times (https://bit.ly/1g4RjzT ) reports that the FBI returned 18 boxes of documents to town hall on Friday.

The town said in a news release that the first selectman was told that the investigation was closed without charges. The FBI did not indicate the nature of its investigation.

William Stuart was first selectman at the time of the July 2012 raid. He said afterward that he suspected his enemies of spreading falsehoods to investigators out of personal grudges.
