Former Candidate For Md. House Of Delegates Indicted

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A former candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates has been indicted on felony theft, perjury and other charges relating to campaign spending.
State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt announced the 38-count indictment Friday against Steven Wyatt.

The indictment alleges Wyatt made unauthorized ATM withdrawals from the North County High School Athletic Boosters Association's bank account to benefit his campaign.

In one case, he allegedly charged $1,300 on an association debit card at a restaurant to benefit his campaign. Wyatt had been president of the association.

Wyatt declined to comment Friday. He referred calls to his attorney, who did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Wyatt ran in the 2014 Democratic primary for delegate in District 32 in northern Anne Arundel County. He came in last in a six-way primary.
