Mayor Terry L. Cruse, 56, of Hodgenville, along with City Clerk MaDonna Hornback, 52, were indicted Monday by a LaRue County grand jury.
The Mayor is facing nine counts of abuse of public trust; one count of theft by unlawful taking; two counts of campaign contribution restrictions/expense limits; and two counts of forgery.
For Hornback, she was charged with 54 counts of abuse of public trust; and one count of theft by unlawful taking.
A bond of $9,500 cash or property was set. The two should be in court sometime in January 2014.
The alleged abuse of city gas cards is the reason behind the charges.
More will be reported as the story unfolds.
