Lawrence - The Lawrence Township trustee accused of paying his rent with public money heads to court Monday.
Michael Hobbs allegedly asked the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department to make a $500 donation to a charity. Prosecutors say Hobbs used the check to pay his rent at the Park Harrison Apartments.
If convicted Hobbs faces a six-year sentence and a $20,000 fine.

I've also read elsewhere one of the owners of Park Harrison is none other than the Lawrence Township Assessor himself.
Coincidence?
Yes, Part owner of Park Harrison is: Jeff Hill, Lawrence Twp ASSessor...
More fun to come.
I wonder if he has anything to do with the immediate financial dealings with the property? IF nothing else, IC wonders what the assessment of the building came in at?
Anyone?
The Democrat Machine at work...corruption, Tax & Spend, patronage, Machine politics.
As a firefighter, this is another reason to have only one fire dept in this county. I know that goes in line with what the mayor wants, but it is one good idea out of his crazy head. This happens in other townships as well. Remember when Franklin Township's quatermaster embezzled over $100,000 from the fire departments budget by setting up a fake compnay that he then bought supplies from? Never served any jail time and only had to pay back a few thousand dollars.
