Former Louisville Housing Director Charged With Misusing City Tax Dollars
KENTUCKY...
Police investigative files show the mother of Louisville's former housing director got more than $10,000 in city tax dollars that she wasn't entitled to have.
The files were obtained this week and contain nearly 600 pages of police investigation documents. The mother, 57-year-old Vickie Smallwood, and the daughter and former director, 39-year-old Kimberly Bunton, are each facing two counts of theft in connection with money that went to Smallwood. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Ryan Vantrease, Bunton's attorney, says the files only give one side of the story and his client will give her side in court.
