\nPolice say a Lexington-Fayette Urban County councilwoman is facing forgery and theft charges.<\/p>\n
News outlets report Lexington police say Sasha Love Higgins has been charged with second-degree forgery, theft by deception and identity theft.<\/p>\n
Court documents say Higgins, who’s a manager of Hampton Inn, continued issuing fraudulent checks to a former employee months after she left.<\/p>\n
According to police, Pillar Hotels and Resorts, Hampton Inn’s parent company, says seven-such checks, totaling over $4,000, were deposited into an account that Higgins asked the company to set up using the former worker’s employee number.<\/p>\n
Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said in a statement Thursday that summonses were issued for Higgins for all charges. The investigation continues.<\/p>\n
Higgins was elected in November and represents Council District 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
