A former Obama administration official has been fired from his $186,000-a-year job with the city of Minneapolis after allegedly stealing from coworkers to buy kratom.
Authorities say Adam Fetcher, who previously served as a deputy press secretary under Obama, is accused of taking cash and credit cards from city employees after returning from a work-approved, weeks-long rehabilitation program.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has received the case from authorities and is reviewing it.
