A former District official has been charged with stealing from his constituents less than one week after a city councilman from the same ward pleaded guilty to similar charges. Former Ward 5 Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner William Shelton was charged in federal court Wednesday with fraud for allegedly stealing $28,526.21 from the commission’s checking account without authorization. Shelton took the money over a year-long period that ended in August 2011, according to the court filing.
