Michael Capps, a 44-year-old Wichita business owner, was found guilty Wednesday of 12 felony charges for lying on applications for federal COVID-19 relief aid while he was a member of the Kansas House of Representatives.

The jury found Capps defrauded federal and state agencies out of $355,550.

At trial, Capps admitted to including Clendenin’s daughters, ages 10 and 14, as employees in a Paycheck Protection Program application and to “comingling” federal funds with personal, business and charitable funds.

Capps' previous claim to fame was working to get "In God We Trust" signs in all public buildings and schools in Kansas. Maybe he should have focused on one of those Ten Commandments monuments instead.
