BANGOR, Maine (AP) - The former finance director of the Passamaquoddy Tribe’s Pleasant Point reservation has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of stealing more than $20,000 from the Maine tribe.
Charles Fourcloud has been in federal custody since April 25 when he was arrested in California after federal authorities in Maine obtained a warrant charging him with theft from an Indian tribal government and three counts of embezzlement from an Indian tribal organization.
The Portland Press Herald (https://bit.ly/1qI12Ar ) reports that the grand jury in Maine indicted Fourcloud on those charges Wednesday.
Fourcloud, who has multiple aliases, is charged with stealing $20,052 from the Passamaquoddy Tribe by submitting false expense claims with fake supporting documentation, mostly for travel and moving expenses.
He was fired last year for lying about his identity.
