THE DALLES — State Rep. John Mabrey and his wife, Janet Hawkins, have been indicted by a Wasco County grand jury on felony and misdemeanor theft charges for allegedly stealing medical insurance payments.

Mabrey and Hawkins were indicted Wednesday following an investigation by the state Attorney General’s office.

Mabrey, R-The Dalles, referred all questions to his lawyer, James Habberstad, who refused to comment.

The indictment charged the freshman lawmaker and his wife with the theft of $4,000 from Regence BlueCross/BlueShield of Oregon, the health care provider for Wasco County.

Mabrey told The Dalles Chronicle last year he believed he was under investigation because he obtained health insurance for Hawkins, his then-girlfriend, through Wasco County before they were married. He said the couple had been living together since 1991 but did not get married until February 2002 because it would have hurt his wife’s financial settlement from her previous marriage.
