INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -

A federal prosecutor says an Indianapolis attorney charged in a $4.5 million fraud should sell off his art collection and other luxuries rather than be allowed to pay his living expenses with money intended for his alleged victims.

William Conour recently asked a judge to release $10,000 from a victim compensation fund to cover living expenses, including $3,000 in repairs to his 25-room Carmel home.

Prosecutor Jason Bohm says in a motion filed in U.S. District Court that Conour should seek court approval to sell an art collection valued at $500,000 along with collections of wine and champagne.

Bohm also said $3,500 in monthly car payments doesn't indicate Conour needs a public defender.

Conour didn't return a phone call seeking comment Wednesday.
