VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — An Alcoa machine shop worker in Texas has been arrested in what prosecutors call a $1 million scam to order, steal and then resell equipment.

Prosecutors say 55-year-old Jack Kennedy of Houston faces a detention hearing Friday in Corpus Christi. He’s charged with mail and wire fraud in an indictment unsealed Tuesday in Victoria.
