Documents detail charges against former official
May 22, 2013 12:36 GMT

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Prosecutors in Knoxville say former Knox County Trustee Mike Lowe paid employees who never performed work.

The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/14wTIJO ) reported documents recently filed in Knox County Criminal Court allege Lowe and two former aides conducted a "continuous larcenous scheme" in which ghost employees were on the payroll.

Lowe, Delbert Morgan and Ray Mubarak face multiple theft charges.

A bill of particulars filed by the district attorney's office alleges Morgan bilked taxpayers out of nearly $197,000 by not showing up for work over four years.

The newspaper said Gregory P. Isaacs, Lowe's lawyer, and Tom Dillard, Mubarak's lawyer, declined comment Tuesday. Jeff Daniel, Morgan's attorney, could not be reached for comment.

In April 2012, when indictments were returned, Isaacs said Lowe strongly denied the allegations.
