A Mississippi woman is facing years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines after allegedly posing as a federally certified safety trainer in the wake of the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon disaster.
A 22-count indictment, unsealed Sept. 26 in federal court in New Orleans, charges Connie M. Knight, 46, with impersonating a federal employee to entice people to pay her for bogus hazardous waste safety training.
