State Sen. Katrina Robinson has been charged with theft and embezzlement involving government programs and wire fraud, U.S. District Attorney for Western Tennessee Michael Dunavant said Wednesday.
A criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court alleges Robinson used federal grant money issued to her for-profit nursing college to buy a vehicle for her daughter, expenses related to her wedding and honeymoon, and legal fees for her divorce. She is also accused of using the grant money to pay off credit cards and student loan payments, purchase beauty products and fund a campaign event.
