A federal grand jury issued a 16-count indictment Friday accusing a Kansas City, Missouri, police officer with taking $300,000 in donations from an anti-crime group and using the money for his own expenses.

The indictment was made public Friday after Aaron McKie, 46, was arrested.

McKie is charged with 14 counts of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering

He worked as a KCMO police officer for 24 years, with most of his career spent in the Crime Free Multi-Housing Section.

He was president of Mid-America Crime Free, Inc., from 2009 to 2023, according a news release from the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Missouri.
