Trent LeDoux
(KNZA)--A former area Kansas legislator accused of using money from bank loans intended for cattle purchases to finance his political activities has made his first appearance in federal court.
A spokesman for the office of U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom, says 40-year-old Holton resident Trent LeDoux made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court Tuesday on three counts of bank fraud and two counts of money laundering. LeDoux was released on a personal recognizance bond.
A federal grand jury last month indicted LeDoux on the charges. The indictment alleges that while in office, he obtained about $465,000 in loans from a Colby bank to buy cattle. He’s accused of depositing $15,000 of the money into his campaign account in December 2011, and $12,000 in August 2012.
LeDoux served as a Republican member of the Kansas House, overseeing District 50, from June 2011 to 2013. He was appointed to the position in May 2011 to fill the unexpired term of the late Rocky Fund.
