The Indiana Office of Inspector General filed a formal ethics complaint Friday against former Public Safety Secretary Jennifer-Ruth Green — accusing her of ghost employment and misuse of state property.
The filing, which was signed by Inspector General Jared Prentice, accuses Green of violating multiple provisions of the state’s ethics code.
The inspector general also has a duty to refer any evidence of potential criminal activity to prosecutors, who would decide independently whether to pursue charges.
The inspector general also alleged she used her state vehicle, and instructed an employee to do the same, for personal errands.
The complaint was released one day after the Indiana State Ethics Commission held a closed-door meeting in Indianapolis.
