Thomas Wright is in trouble for work he supposedly did for charity.
In the indictments, the Wilmington Democrat is charged with obtaining property by means of a false pretense for:
* Persuading state employee Torlen Wade to write a letter stating that the state Office of Rural Health would commit a $150,000 grant to renovate a historic building in Wilmington.
* Soliciting a $5,000 donation from Anheuser-Bush Companies, $2,400 from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, and $1,500 from AT&T Corp. for the Community's Health Foundation, then using the money for personal expenses.
* Obtaining a $9,980 loan from South East Community Credit Union for the Community's Health Foundation, then using the money for personal expenses.
* Spending $185,000 worth of campaign donations on personal expenses.
