AG Files Lawsuit Against Fort Collins Charity

DENVER (AP) -- Colorado Attorney General John Suthers has filed a lawsuit against a Fort Collins charity for the homeless claiming funds were misused and donations were misrepresented.

Suthers said Thursday the lawsuit was filed against Full Spirit Ministries and president Richard Thebo, along with several board members.

The complaint says the charity is suspected of telling consumers their donations would be used to help the homeless when they actually were being used to pay personal expenses.

Thebo did not return a phone call seeking comment.
