Colorado Senator charged with 3 felonies
The Associated Press Updated: July 31, 2014 at 7:25 am
GRAND JUNCTION Republican state Sen. Steve King is facing three felony charges alleging he falsified time cards and defrauded two former employers out of thousands of dollars.
King, a longtime resident of western Colorado's Grand Valley, was issued a summons Wednesday on felony counts of embezzlement of public property, forgery and theft. He also was charged with misdemeanor counts of forgery and official misconduct.
The complaint alleges King defrauded the Mesa County Sheriff's Office and Colorado Mesa University of $2,000 to $5,000 between July 2013 and December. The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported Wednesday that no affidavit explaining the basis for the charges was filed.

The Denver Post reported King's troubles began when he was fired from his part-time job at the Mesa County Sheriff's Office because he was accused of falsifying time cards. He had been an investigator with the department before he was elected to the Legislature in 2006 and had continued to work there part-time while he was a senator.
