Nevada Justice of the Peace Michele Fiore, who ran for state treasurer in 2022, was indicted on federal fraud charges for allegedly using donations intended for a police officer memorial statue on personal expenses. The prosecution claims Fiore, a former Las Vegas City Council member, promised to use 100% of donations for the statue but used the money for political campaign costs, rent, and her daughter's wedding. Fiore faces wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud charges, which carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
