An indictment is a formal charge by a grand jury and is not proof of guilt.

A former Fruit of the Loom administrative assistant was indicted Wednesday on a charge of federal wire fraud.A federal grand jury meeting in Bowling Green accused former administrative assistant James Trey Rucker, 28, of 725 Elrod Road of embezzling more than $150,000 from Fruit of the Loom and using some of the money to purchase a personal computer and a 1999 Chrysler Concord.An FBI investigation found three dates Dec. 4, 1998, April 30 and Aug. 19 when large sums of money were paid to settle invoices totaling $153,122.59 that appeared to be bills but that the indictment alleges were phony invoices from a fictitious company.Investigators said they traced a telephone number listed on the bills, which were from a company named S.E. Fielder Fabrications of Nashville, Tenn., but that the number was to a cell phone used by Rucker, according to the indictment. Rucker will receive a summons from a federal marshal to appear in court for a Jan. 19 arraignment, according to Kent Wicker, criminal chief for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Louisville.Fruit of the Loom management declined comment.The charge of wire fraud carries maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.
