LEBANON — At the same time former Harveysburg Administrator Kimble Grant was embezzling money from the village, Warren County authorities say, he was also ripping off the welfare system for more than $20,000.

        An indictment released Friday charges Mr. Grant, 46, with one felony count each of illegal use of food stamps and Medicaid fraud, and two misdemeanor counts of falsification.

        Prosecutor Tim Oliver said Mr. Grant — who was sentenced to serve six months in jail last year for taking $11,500 from the village in 1999 — now is accused of fraudulently obtaining $8,936 in food stamps and $11,679.98 in Medicaid payments.

        Those benefits were paid because Mr. Grant failed to report that he was receiving income from other sources.

        In the earlier case, Mr. Grant was accused of charging personal items on village credit cards, writing checks to himself and paying personal computer leases and a power bill with taxpayer money.

        The illegal spending was brought to light in a state audit released a year after Mr. Grant left.

        Mr. Oliver said the recent allegations surfaced in an anonymous call to the Warren County Human Services Department.

        Mr. Grant could not be reached.

        Arrested March 7, he is being held in the Warren County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.
