Lara, who represents District 6, is accused of fraudulently obtaining benefits from the state's Department of Transitional Assistance between 2018 and 2023. Additionally, she faces charges related to a car crash where she was driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle with a revoked license, leading to injuries to her son.
