CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A federal grand jury has indicted a Putnam County attorney on charges of bankruptcy fraud, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.

If convicted, Anderson faces up to 10 years in prison.

The grand jury also indicted an Ohio man on charges of identity theft and passport fraud.

Abdullah Muhammad Muslim, also known as John Brown, 37, of Columbus, allegedly submitted false information on a passport application by using the personal information, including the Social Security number, of another person.
