COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Moberly man was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday after he was accused of committing pandemic-related fraud.
Steven Hendren, 32, was indicted in the Eastern District Court of Missouri in St. Louis for three counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft, according to a Wednesday press release from the Department of Justice.
Hendren is accused of submitting fraudulent applications for rental assistance to the Missouri Housing Development Commission and obtaining $284,840.44.
Hendren allegedly listed himself as a landlord and included “fictitious lease agreements and financial statements and inflated rent amounts,” in the applications, the release says. He allegedly used the money for personal expenses.
