The official leading the criminal investigation into the Flint Water Crisis says he wants the probe to be wrapped up by the end of this year.

Former FBI Agent in Charge of the Detroit Division Andy Arena says there’s still work to be done.

“We’ve got some hearings going now. But the investigation continues. We’ve got a lot of stuff that we’re still looking at. But we’d like to have it wrapped up this year and get some answers for the people of Flint.”

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has charged 15 current and former government officials in the investigation so far. He has charged five officials with involuntary manslaughter.
