Two more people now face federal indictments in connection to a public corruption investigation that came to light in September with the arrests of the former director of the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission and a man with ties to two Lincoln strip clubs. In court records, the newly charged suspects were identified only as Sealed Defendant #3 and Sealed Defendant #4 as of Friday morning.

But one is believed to be Daniel Thomas, owner of The Night Before Lounge, who was picked up by the FBI and booked at a jail in Maricopa County, Arizona, at 10 p.m. Thursday, according to jail records. The other isn't yet known, nor are the charges until they're unsealed, a move that hadn't happened as of late afternoon Friday.

But what is known is that it's connected to the same investigation that led to the September arrests of Hobert "Hobie" Rupe and Brent Zywiec, who pleaded not guilty at their first court appearance Sept. 25.

The new defendants are charged in the same case where Rupe, the former Liquor Control Commission director, is accused of using his government position to work against rival clubs in exchange for money, free private dances and sexual acts at two Lincoln strip clubs and looking the other way to law violations.
