An investigation leads to three people being convicted after investigators say they misappropriated more than $100,000 from the Knox County Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
The Tennessee Comptroller’s Office says Amanda McKay, who worked for Knox County Grants and Community Development, took almost $80,000 to have rent and utility payments sent to herself and her former husband and received over $9,000 which was not approved.
Jennifer Harper, who worked for the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (KCCAC), and her husband, James, reportedly misappropriated almost $13,000.
All three are facing multiple charges, including theft.
