Former Blaine Mayor Indicted

{Kentucky}...A grand jury in Lawrence County, Kentucky has indicted former Blaine Mayor Crystal Meade on two misdemeanor counts of misapplication of entrusted property and second-degree official misconduct. Meade is set be arraigned on October 11th in Lawrence County District Court. Current Mayor Geneva Wheeler filed the complaint against Meade earlier this year. In June, Wheeler said her predecessor would not turn over up to seven years worth of missing city minutes, bank statements, check stubs, wrenches for gas meters, tables from the community center and more. A Lawrence County prosecutor says he tried to get Meade to return all the missing city property and avoid criminal charges.
