APNewsBreak: Feds Charge DC Councilman With Theft Authorities say D.C. Councilman Harry Thomas Jr. has been charged with stealing more than $350,000 in government funds and filing false tax returns. The two felony counts against Thomas are detailed in a criminal information document filed in U.S. District Court on Thursday. That document typically indicates a defendant intends to plead guilty. The document does not detail what Thomas did with the alleged stolen funds. Previously he had been accused of spending the money on a luxury SUV, travel and rounds of golf. The tax return charge accuses him of failing to report $356,000 in income between 2007 and 2009. Thomas was also ordered to forfeit an SUV and a motorcycle that were seized last month by federal agents who raided his home.
