State Rep. Reggie Fullwood was charged Friday with federal fraud and tax crimes.
The Jacksonville Democrat faces 10 counts of wire fraud and four charges of not filing income tax returns from 2011 to 2014.
The indictment says Fullwood, 41, funneled money from a bank account used by his election campaign account into one created for a real-estate development business he owned, Rhino Harbor LLC. After that, the indictment says, the money was used for personal expenses ranging from grocery bills and gas to jewelry and liquor stores.
Prosecutors are seeking a court order for Fullwood to forfeit about $65,000, which they said represents proceeds from crimes he committed.
