A federal grand jury has indicted Georgia state Rep. Tyrone Brooks on charges that he misappropriated almost $1 million in charitable funds.
According to authorities, Brooks misappropriated funds from Universal Humanities, a charity he founded in 1990, and the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials.
Prosecutors say Brooks funneled the money to personal accounts and used them to pay for expenses like home repair, dry cleaning and entertainment.
