KS Natl Guard Investigated For Corruption

By Associated Press

07/21/2014

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas Adjutant General's office says federal authorities are investigating possible corruption involving outside medical companies' contracts with the Kansas Army National Guard.
Sharon Watson, spokeswoman for the adjutant general's office, confirmed the investigation Friday to The Lawrence Journal-World but declined to release specific details. She said the investigation involves concerns of "inappropriate conduct" on medical contracts.
The Journal-World reports Watson's statement was in response to questions it asked about allegations that a captain in the Guard's Medical Detachment received gifts from Dentrust, a Pennsylvania company that performs dental screenings and treatment for Guard soldiers.
Dentrust is one of three firms that contract with the Guard for those services. In federal fiscal years 2012-2013, it received more than $585,000 under those contracts.
