A federal grand jury indicted a man who stole two government vehicles and illegally charged more than $15,000 on government gas cards that he sold to friends, according to officials.
Kyle Sidney Freedman Flournoy, 34, was charged in the indictment with conspiracy and two counts of retaining stolen government property.
Flournoy was arrested on November 6 by federal authorities pursuant to a criminal complaint filed in August.
At the time of the alleged criminal conduct in 2013, Flournoy was employed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
According to court documents, Flournoy stole a VA vehicle and rented it out to associates – including gang members – for $30. Flournoy is also charged with stealing a second VA vehicle in late 2013.
The indictment also charges Flournoy with unlawfully using more than 10 different federal government gas cards over the course of several weeks to charge more than $15,000 in gas.
Flournoy allegedly gave the gas to others who paid him approximately 60 cents on the dollar.
Flourney is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
If convicted on all three charges, Flournoy is facing up to 25 years behind bars.
