A small-town Alabama police chief and several others have been indicted on federal charges alleging COVID-19 relief funds fraud.
According to federal law enforcement, an investigation into several fraudulent Emergency Rental Assistance Program applications led to three people who conspired in a fraud including the police chief.
An indictment has been handed down against Brundidge Police Chief Samuel Cornelius Green, 50, Sharon Jones Green, 53, and Schemillia Levera Fenn, 40, all from Troy.
Each person is facing federal charges for their roles in a conspiracy to fraudulently receive funds through the rental program.
When creating the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, Congress made up to $46 billion in funding available to assist households that were unable to pay rent or utilities due to financial hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is alleged that the conspiracy began on March 2, 2021, and continued through at least November 9, 2021.
The police chief is charged with 13 counts in the indictment, including one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering; three counts of money laundering; one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud; six counts of wire fraud; and two counts of aggravated identity theft.
The same indictment charges Sharon Green with nine counts, including one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering; three counts of money laundering; one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud; three counts of wire fraud; and one count of aggravated identity theft.
Schemillia Fenn is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson announced the indictments but did not say if there would be further arrests.
