A Prince George’s delegate to the Maryland State House was indicted Friday for stealing campaign funds to pay for her wedding and other personal needs. The office of the state prosecutor said Del. Tiffany Alston stole nearly $6,000 from a campaign fund in 2010 to pay for her nuptials and to cover the salary of an employee in her Lanham law firm. Alston withdrew cash and wrote checks to herself in several different instances, officials said.

Alston, a 31-year-old freshman delegate, is best known for initiating and then backing off a proposal to legalize gay marriage in Maryland earlier this year. She married recently and has one child.
