I believe it falls under this section "(d) A person employed by a governmental entity who knowingly or intentionally accepts property from the entity for the performance of duties not related to the operation of the entity commits ghost employment, a Class D felony"Nothing in the code pertains to what's going on. They shouldn't have been arrested. It doesn't say anything about accepting property from a private employer and shirking your duties at work. So this is not a crime, and they're charged with felonies. It's an employee employer issue.
