FBI agents raided a home linked to former Success Village president Ty Bird Wednesday morning as part of a criminal investigation into millions of dollars in missing funds.

The move marks a significant escalation in the ongoing probe.

Residents, including 30-year occupant Sue Zello, expressed relief and a desire for restitution regarding the alleged mismanagement.

Bird’s attorney, Darnell, Crosland, claimed the financial issues predated his client's tenure.
