Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- A Los Angeles County grand jury has indicted the former city administrator of Vernon, California, an industrial city that borders scandal-plagued Bell, on three felony counts after an investigation into questionable business practices. 

Court documents show that Donal O'Callaghan has been indicted on two counts of conflict of interest and a count of public officer crime related to the misappropriation of public funds. 

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office says the counts against O'Callaghan, 54, involve an alleged misappropriation of more than $140,000. 

"The law prevents public officials from making contracts the have a personal interest in and Mr. O'Callaghan made a contract that paid his wife money," said deputy District Attorney Max Huntsman. "We're alleging he paid her more than $140,000." 

The grand jury was looking into business deals between O'Callaghan and his wife, Kimberly McBride. 

According to Vernon city records, the city hired McBride in 2009 as a $40-per-hour consultant and for "administrative account services." 

"It's preposterous that he was indicted for the hiring of his wife, which was done with the knowledge and consent of the city attorney and the City Council of Vernon," defense lawyer Mark Werksman told CNN. 

"We are seeing an overreaction and hysterical response to the scandal in neighboring Bell," he said. "They are looking for examples of municipal government corruption behind every bush. But it isn't here." 

Huntsman disagreed with Werksman's contention. 

'I think it's a reaction to Vernon, which has a long history of criminal behavior by public officials. We heard complaints against Mister O'Callaghan, looked into the law and found a basis for the charges," Huntsman said. "The fact that it coincides with criminal charges against officials in Bell has to do with raised public awareness about corruption in municipal governments."  1. What borders Bell?

The clashes began Wednesday morning in Meiktila Township after a quarrel between the shop owner and the sellers, police said. 

The sellers were beaten up by four other Muslim shop owners, police said. 

In retaliation, Muslims and Buddhists took to the street, torching houses and schools, said Police Lt. Col. Aung Min. 

To defuse tensions, police imposed a curfew Wednesday night. 

Tension, police presence 

The death toll from the violence has risen to 10, said Win Htein, a member of parliament for the area. He described the situation as still tense despite the increased police presence. 

Win Htein, a member of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League of Democracy, linked the unrest to feelings stirred up by clashes between Buddhists and Muslims in western Myanmar last year. 

When police took two Muslim shop owners to court Thursday, a group of several hundred Buddhists tried to attack them and threw rocks, he said. 

Myanmar is emerging from decades of military repression to democracy, but has been plagued by bouts of ethnic violence. 

In the western state of Rakhine, tensions between the majority Buddhist community and the Rohingya -- a stateless ethnic Muslim group -- boiled over into clashes that killed scores of people and left tens of thousands of others living in makeshift camps last year.  1. how many people beat up the sellers?

PEPPER MAKES A DISCOVERY 

"You do not--er--wish me present?" came rather awkwardly from Josiah Crabtree. 

"Oh, that won't matter, Mr. Crabtree," answered George Strong. "I did not desire any of the cadets present, that was all." 

"I do not care to intrude----" commenced the dictatorial teacher. 

"As you please," answered Mr. Strong, with a shrug of his shoulders. 

At first Josiah Crabtree was inclined to stand on his dignity and walk off, but his curiosity got the better of him and he followed Captain Putnam and George Strong into another office. 

"I went after Coulter and Paxton, as you directed me," said the second assistant teacher, when they were alone, and the door had been closed. "At first I could not find them, but at last I located Paxton and then Coulter. Where do you suppose they were?" 

"I have no idea," answered Captain Putnam. 

"Paxton was under the window of the office, listening to all that was going on. He was partly hidden behind a bush, so that nobody might see him." 

"Indeed! That is not to his credit. And Coulter?" 

"Coulter was at another window, talking to Ritter. Ritter was giving him some instructions, and as I came up unnoticed I heard Ritter say, 'Now, don't make a mess of it. Tell the story just as I told it, and be sure to stick to it that Ruddy hit me first, and tell Nick to stick to that, too.' Those were his very words."
