South Carolina Attorney Accused Of Ripping Off Alabama Sorority

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – Federal prosecutors say a South Carolina attorney is accused in a bank fraud and money laundering scheme involving a University of Alabama sorority house.

Prosecutors said in a statement that 38-year-old Jennifer Elizabeth Meehan was arrested Monday by federal authorities.

Prosecutors say Meehan volunteered with Gamma Phi Beta’s University of Alabama chapter and was responsible for furnishing their new sorority house between September 2013 and March 2015.

Prosecutors say Meehan, a former sorority member, is accused of submitting roughly $95,000 in false invoices to Greek Resource Services, which handles accounting and finances for Greek organizations at the university. Prosecutors say Meehan is also accused of opening a bank account under a fraudulent name and submitting about $375,000 in fraudulent invoices to the company.

It’s unclear if Meehan has an attorney.
