DENVER (AP) - A 29-year-old Aurora man is accused of defrauding the Army out of $125,000 in military recruitment bonuses.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Jaycee L. Collier was indicted April 8 on five counts of wire fraud and 13 counts of bribery of a public official. He appeared in court Friday and was later released on $10,000 bond.
Prosecutors say Collier, a civilian who worked for the Department of Defense in Denver, processed enlistment packets and was ineligible for recruitment bonuses. The Denver Post reports (https://bit.ly/1inG4BB ) he is accused of having current reserve soldiers fraudulently fill out forms indicating they had referred the recruits.
