Mena remained in the El Paso County Jail on Friday and a jail official did not know if he had a lawyer.
Mena is accused of telling vendors who wanted to do business with the school district that he would support their proposals if they contributed to his election and re-election campaigns.
The indictment alleges that Mena accepted cash bribes in exchange for his vote and influence.
In 2006, Mena allegedly lied to a financial institution to get a loan to remodel a family member's home when he really had other intentions for the money, the indictment states. The federal investigation is ongoing.
Mena, a four-term trustee, resigned from the school board in 2007, a district spokeswoman said.



In response, Deputy Secretary of State Brian R. Moe told the board that McDonough 'carried out his duty in good faith' and adhered to the language in the constitutional amendment legislation, which also does not specify any beneficiary of slots revenues other than public education.
Companion legislation passed by the General Assembly in 2007 spells out precisely where the more than $600 million in projected slots tax revenues would go. An education trust fund is the primary beneficiary, but taxes levied on slots operators would also go to the horse racing industry and the state lottery.
'My statutory duty is to condense the amendment, not other legislation,' McDonough, who has come under criticism as a former lobbyist for a Maryland racetrack, said in a written statement.
Arceneaux acknowledged McDonough's strict reading of his duties but said, 'Legal log-rolling and legal niceties should not be used to deceive voters.'
As late as Wednesday night, Elections Board Chairman Robert L. Walker said he would not allow Arceneaux to testify before the board yesterday
