Attorney Michael J. Smith of Sterling Heights said his client, Bruce McClellan of Waterford Township, recently told the FBI that Hunter and Iron Johnson, Hunter's partner in L&I Enterprises, promised to pay him $300,000 in 2007 to buy the house in the 1700 block of Morningside Way. The deal called for McClellan to hold the house for one or two months until it could be purchased by someone else.

It's unclear what Hunter had to gain from the deal.
Hunter could not be reached for comment Monday, but his lawyer, Deano Ware of Redford, said: "Lindsey Hunter hasn't done anything wrong.
