Kansas City nonprofit operator indicted on 5 felony counts

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The operator of a nonprofit group set up as job re-entry program for ex-cons has been indicted on five federal counts after investigators accused him of running an employment scheme.

Prosecutors say 50-year-old Michael Green, operator of Kansas City Community Source, took money from ex-cons in exchange for falsely reporting to federal probation officers that the felons worked for the nonprofit.

Green is also accused of creating false employment verification documents, including pay stubs, as part of the scheme, which the felons used to satisfy requirements of supervised release.
