GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A Maryland man who worked as an Air Force travel coordinator has been indicted on charges that he stole more than $774,000 in government funds.
Monday’s federal indictment in Maryland charges 59-year-old Eddie Ray Johnson Jr., of Brandywine, with theft of government property and money laundering.
Johnson was a civilian Air Force employee whose duties included planning congressional travel and reviewing and approving accounting packages submitted by trip escorts.
The indictment accuses him of using a government-issued credit card to obtain more than $1.1 million in cash advances and diverting at least $774,000 for his personal use.
