Attorney General Jim Hood said in a press release that Fulton reported a 2000 Grand Marquis as stolen and then submitted a false repair report claiming that she had put a new engine in the vehicle before it was stolen. An indictment stated that no such repairs had been made.

If convicted, Fulton faces up to three years in prison and $5,000 in fines. It’s unclear if she has a lawyer.
