Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan's former chief of staff was indicted on Tuesday on charges he defrauded the state agency he previously led into giving him a severance package of more than $233,000, among other allegations.

In addition to the severance pay that was equal to a year's salary, prosecutors allege Roy McGrath also used money from the Maryland Environmental Service (MES) to make a personal pledge to a museum and to finance tuition expenses for a course he took after leaving the agency, according to a press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
