NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) — Four southern Indiana residents are accused of pocketing more than $125,000 through fundraisers touted as benefiting veterans and their families.
All four were indicted on fraud charges alleging that they solicited funds from individuals and businesses in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.
They allegedly pocketed more than $125,000 in cash, gift cards, merchandise and other donations to the Wounded Warrior Fund, Inc. and the Wounded Warrior Foundation, Inc.
Prosecutors say many of the 1,000 donors were led to believe they were donating to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Real nice of them to give a bad name to a veterans' group.
