From the Columbus Dispatch:

The estranged wife of former Attorney General Marc Dann was charged late yesterday afternoon with using her husband’s position to score a $6,500 grant for her university.

Alyssa Lenhoff, who teaches journalism at Youngstown State University, “knowingly (had) an interest in the profits of a public contract” entered between the university and the attorney general’s office in 2007, according to the misdemeanor charge from the Ohio Ethics Commission.

The $6,500 grant would have been used to fund a “cold case” course that Lenhoff taught, but the attorney general’s office cut off payment

David E. Freel, executive director of the Ohio Ethics Commission, said the charge was part of a plea agreement between Lenhoff and Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien’s office.
