Okla. grand jury returns new charges on ex-judge
May 23, 2013 23:32 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma's multicounty grand jury has returned new indictments against a former Lincoln County judge who already faces embezzlement and cattle theft charges.

The grand jury handed up the indictments Thursday against 47-year-old Craig S. Key of Chandler.

Key turned himself in last month to Lincoln County authorities who set bond at $10,000.

One indictment accuses Key of harboring a fugitive by allegedly encouraging a client facing criminal charges in Lincoln and Jefferson counties to flee the state to avoid prosecution.

Another charges Key with five counts of delivery of a forged note and accuses him of forging the name of a woman whose signature was required on escrow account checks that Key was also required to sign.

Key's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey of Stillwater, says the additional indictments are no surprise.
