NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The U.S. Attorney in Nashville says former Woodbury Police Chief Kevin Mooneyham has pleaded guilty to a federal theft charge.
Media cited a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in reporting that Mooneyham admitted on Monday to submitting false time sheet for more than $28,000 from January 2013 to February 2015. The money came from a federal grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that was supposed to pay for overtime patrols for DUI enforcement.
Mooneyham faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. His sentencing was set for Oct. 19.
