WASHINGTON — Two employees with D.C. Fire and EMS are facing felony fraud charges after allegedly bilking taxpayers out of thousands of dollars, according to court documents obtained by ABC7.
The two cases are separate, but similar.
One of the employees is fire inspector Kimberly Pinkney, 45, who has been with the department for 26 years.
Pinkney is accused of abusing a work credit card, using it to purchase $11,334 worth of gas for her personal car over a period of more than three years, ABC7 reports.
The other employee, Terrell McCray, is charged with the same crime.
According to ABC7, 31-year old McCray allegedly used his work credit card for $2,637 worth of illegal fuel purchases in just three months.
Prosecutors say McCray not only filled up his own car, but he also sold gas to friends and acquaintances, ABC7 reports.
Both Pinkney and McCray have been placed on leave.
