Council Aide on Leave Amid Theft Allegations.
Post, 23 Oct 2007 (Helderman & Rondeaux).

An aide to Prince George's County Council Chairman Camille Exum has been placed on administrative leave amid allegations that he stole $15,000 from the charitable foundation of former Redskins star LaVar Arrington.

A complaint by a citizen last month alleges that Corey Coleman wrote fraudulent checks in June from the Keys to Life Foundation, an organization with which he has been affiliated. Coleman, 35, has served as constituent service aide to Exum (D-Seat Pleasant) since December 2002.
