Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Wednesday announced the arrest of a Florida mayor.

According to Uthmeier, Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinosa was charged with grand theft and organized scheme to defraud.

Espinosa is accused of voting for a COVID grant program that she took $50,000 from to give to her family's business, Uthmeier said.

Florida's chief financial officer, Blaise Ingoglia, said Espinosa could face up to 30 years in prison based on the charges.
