MONTGOMERY, Al.
Alabama's attorney general has announced that two former state Public Safety Department workers have been indicted on charges of felony theft and ethics violations.

Attorney General Luther Strange says Kenneth Robert Grissett of Northport and Earl M. Champion of Cottondale surrendered Wednesday at the Tuscaloosa County Jail.

Former state trooper Grissett and former building custodian Champion are both charged with abusing their positions to steal more than $500 in gasoline.

The theft charges carry possible jail sentences of up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to $15,000. The ethics charges could result in up to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $30,000.

A spokeswoman for the attorney general says details of the theft are not being released at this time.
