A Boston woman has been indicted with . fraudulently obtaining $8,000 from the fund set up for victims . of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and thousands more from . other fundraising, officials said on Thursday. Investigators found that Joanna Leigh, 41, was at the Boston . Marathon on April 15, 2013 when two bombs exploded, killing . three people and injuring more than 260, but they argued that . she was not injured, the Boston Police Department said in a . statement. Leigh was indicted earlier this month by a Suffolk County . grand jury on five larceny counts and a charge of making a false . claim to the government, the police department said. Charged: Investigators said Joanna Leigh, 41, was at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013 when two bombs exploded, , but they have argued that she was not injured . It said Leigh received $8,000 from The One Fund Boston, . which raised nearly $80 million in the aftermath of the attack. She also received a combined $28,700 from a middle school . fundraiser, an online campaign and the Massachusetts Victims of . Violent Crime Compensation fund, according to the police . statement. The news comes as the trial of accused bomber, 21-year-old . Dzhokhar Tsarnaev takes place in Boston. Tsarnaev could be . sentenced to death if he is convicted. Police said Leigh did not seek medical treatment for about . two weeks after the bombing, and when she did, she called . herself a 'hero' who ran toward the second explosion. 'At a time when most people were asking how they could help, . others were wondering how they could benefit,' Suffolk County . District Attorney Daniel Conley was quoted as saying in the . police statement. Leigh claims the charges are punishment for criticism of The One Fund Boston over its compensation policies . Leigh, who is set to be arraigned on Monday, told the Boston . Globe newspaper that she was injured in the blast, and that the . charges were punishment for her criticizing The One Fund Boston . over its compensation policies. 'I don't think this is about me; I think this is because I . spoke out about The One Fund,' she told the Globe. 'I think this . is about killing the messenger. I went after the governor and . the mayor's charity, and I didn't shut up about it, and I caused . them trouble.' Several others have also been charged with theft from the . fund. In January a woman from Maine was arrested on charges of . scamming $8,000 from The One Fund, and a New York woman was . sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty last . May to fraudulently collecting $480,000 from the fund.
