The financial manager of a low-income tribal housing agency faces federal charges for allegedly stealing and laundering more than $175,000.
Ladarana Mees was indicted Tuesday in U.S. District Court on nine counts each of money laundering and theft concerning programs receiving federal funds. Mees worked for the Standing Rock Housing Authority.
The indictment alleges Mees stole the money in 2007 and 2008 and gave some of it to hardware store owner Gary Welch. Court records do not show that Welch has been charged or what his involvement might have been.
