Flint water crisis: criminal charges expected against several people

• Up to four people could face felony or misdemeanor counts, report says
• Charges follow governor's pledge to drink Flint water

Criminal charges are expected to be announced on Wednesday against a number of people linked to the city of Flint's two-year water contamination crisis.

The expected charges stem from a criminal investigation launched in January by Michigan's attorney general, Bill Schuette, who created a team of nine full-time investigators. Investigators have said the scope of potential criminal charges that may be considered include misconduct in office and involuntary manslaughter, and the inquiry continues.
