Whiting's aide, Daryl Greer, has also been indicted on two misdemeanor and two felony counts, including misuse of public monies, harassment, and sending a threatening or anonymous letter.

"Public officials are entrusted with the responsibility to serve their communities with integrity and honesty," said Attorney General Mayes. "When that trust is violated, it undermines public confidence in the workings of government. These are serious allegations, and my office is committed to ensuring a thorough and fair legal process as we pursue justice for the people of Apache County."
