2 Indiana Women Charged With Faking State Fair Claims
Prosecutors have charged two Indianapolis women with making false claims to try to collect money from funds intended for victims of the Indiana State Fair stage collapse.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry says Stephanie Murry and Sandra Hurn were charged Tuesday with forgery, attempted theft and perjury. Hurn also was charged with theft.
Authorities say the women each submitted claims totaling $22,500 to a private relief fund and the state tort claim fund.
Murry’s attorney didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Hurn had no attorney or listed phone number.
