SBI probe of Tatum under wraps

The State Bureau of Investigation has finished its probe into a vintage vehicle title given to a friend of former DMV Commissioner George Tatum for a replica of a 1937 Ford truck built three years ago.

But it may take a while longer before the public learns what the SBI found.

Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby said he received the SBI report about two weeks ago, but he is still reviewing it, Dan Kane reports.

He would not say whether the report indicates any wrongdoing. SBI reports are generally not public under state law.

The investigation began after The News & Observer learned earlier this year that DMV staff had been alerted that Tatum's friend, Robert Kinlaw of Fayetteville, was seeking the vintage title.

More after the jump.
