The '''soccer complex corruption scandal''' is a name commonly given to a political scandal that in [[2002]] resulted in the removal of four [[Escambia County Commission]]ers from office, the bribery conviction and imprisonment of longtime politician [[W. D. Childers]], and the apparent suicide death of Commissioner [[Willie Junior]]. It is so named for the former [[Pensacola Soccer Complex]] property on [[Highway 29]], which the commission voted to purchase for $3.9 million in November [[2001]].
