Warrant Points To Allegations Of Fraud At MLK Commission

A search warrant targeting bank records, emails and other documents related to the financial activities of the Martin Luther King, Jr. State Commission is shedding new light on accusations of fraud and embezzlement by the commission's executive director.

The warrant was made public Wednesday, a day after state agents seized documents and computers from the commission's office in Albuquerque.

State prosecutors have yet to file any charges, but investigators detailed checks issued to executive director Kimberly Greene and what's believed to be a forged invoice for more than $51,000.

Greene hasn't returned phone messages or emails left by The Associated Press, and the phone went unanswered at the commission's office Wednesday.

Greene faced intense questioning last month when she went before the State Board of Finance to request nearly $100,000 in emergency funding.
