wikipedia.org

Federal prosecutors have charged a Lewis Center man with embezzling over 180 thousand dollars in federal grants intended to help Native Americans. 47-year-old Craig McGuire has pleaded not guilty. He was a consultant to a Native American who is among the leading opponents of the Cleveland Indians baseball team using the divisive Chief Wahoo logo. Prosecutors allege an embezzlement conspiracy between McGuire and the director of a Cleveland-area nonprofit group that supports Native American causes. The director has not been charged.
