LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A Veterans Administration employee and 13 others have been charged with conspiring to steal nearly $2 million in disability claims.
U.S. Attorney David Huber said in a statement Thursday that Veterans Affairs service representative Jeffrey Allan McGill, 12 veterans, and one civilian have been indicted.
A federal grand jury on Wednesday filed charges of conspiring to defraud the United States of nearly $2 million through the submission of false disability claims to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
According to a Louisville newspaper, 5 of the people indicted are from West Virginia. They are 61-year-old Randell Lee Adkins of Logan, 42-year-old James Edward Bryant of LeRo, 38-year-old Tomas Darrell Bryant of Leroy, 62-year-old Susan Diane Smith of Hurricane and 37-year old Nicolette Marie Wages of Parkersburg.
Smith is the only person who is not a veteran, according to the paper.

Just remember, while all of you are wishing these guys go to jail, they have little children who are praying every night that their daddys are given a second chance. And yes innocent until proven guilty. They should have to pay back but I pray their children to not have to pay.
