Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s former chief of staff, Roy McGrath, was indicted in federal court on Tuesday, charged with defrauding Maryland Environmental Service, a quasi-governmental agency he previously led.

McGrath resigned as Hogan’s (R) top aide in August last year after it was publicly revealed that he authorized a quarter-million-dollar severance package for himself when he left the agency.

McGrath’s spending, which included tuition reimbursements and overseas travel, became the subject of a probe by Maryland lawmakers.

The indictment says McGrath “willfully devised and intended to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud MES and the state of Maryland of money and property … to enrich himself personally by using his positions of trust as executive director of MES and chief of staff of the governor.”

*the end*
