Edgewood man charged with extortion

The Cecil County Bureau of Investigation has charged an Edgewood man with extortion for allegedly demanding money from the winning bidder in a home foreclosure auction. Authorities say Frank Wilhelm, 48, telephoned the winning bidder one day after the auction and threatened to challenge the sale unless he was paid $5,000. Lt. Bernard Chiominto said challenging the sale would have frozen the bidder's payment, possibly for months.
