Mount Vernon Mayor Richard Thomas was indicted on Wednesday by a Westchester County grand jury on grand larceny and filing false instrument charges, on accusations that he stole funds from his campaign and inaugural committees on or about Oct. 2015 through Jan. 2016.

Thomas is charged with three counts in the third degree of grand larceny and a single count of grand larceny in the fourth degree; two counts of filing a false instrument in the first degree; and two counts of filing an instrument in the second degree. The grand jury directed Acting Attorney General Barbara Underwood to file the indicting instrument with the court.
