United States Attorney David A. Capp dropped a bombshell in Hammond, Indiana, announcing that Monique Bowling, known alias Monique Boyd, has been hit with a six-count indictment for her alleged misdeeds.
The gritty details of the case reveal that Bowling, now 44 and residing in Merrillville, is accused of swiping over a thousand iPads and other computer gear from the City of Gary. It’s no mere gadget grab — this is theft from local government receiving federal funds, a serious matter indeed.
But it gets worse. The feds claim Bowling donned a deceased person’s state ID card and colluded with another to cash in on the pension checks of the departed individual. This is an audacious move, to say the least.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office made clear that an indictment is just an accusation, and Bowling is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The potential sentences are severe, and the judge will decide based on federal sentencing laws and guidelines.
This sordid saga has been brought to light by a joint effort from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Indiana State Police, and Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary T. Bell is leading the prosecution.
Stay tuned as this gripping case unfolds in the courts of Indiana.
