Federal Charges Pile Up For LV Woman
07/09/2015

(KAIR)--A Leavenworth woman, indicted on federal bank fraud charges last year, is indicted again on charges relating to financial crimes. 

The Office of U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says the new indictment for 47-year-old Brenda Wood came as she was awaiting trial for the previous crimes. 

In August of last year, Wood, a Kansas City area business owner, was indicted on ten counts,  including five counts of bank fraud, one count of theft from an employee benefit program and four counts of violating the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. On Wednesday, a federal grand jury returned an indictment adding 16 counts, including eight counts of bank fraud, seven counts of aggravated identity theft and one count of committing a felony while on pretrial release. 

If convicted on all charges, Wood faces decades behind bars and millions of dollars in fine.
