Roosevelt Dorn

Inglewood Mayor Roosevelt DornInglewood Mayor Roosevelt Dorn is facing criminal charges for improperly taking a loan in 2004 under a city-sponsored program.

Dorn, a three term incumbent, took out a $500,000 loan, investigators say, to help pay off a mortgage and for his own personal use. The low-interest loan program in which Dorn obtained the funds was intended to help city workers afford to live in Inglewood.

The complaint filed against Dorn charges that the mayor used his office to manipulate city funds for his own financial gain.

Dorn, 72, is an Oklahoma native. He won reelection in November.
