Awfully cheap, dime charged (9)
I believe the answer is:
impeached
'charged' is the definition.
(impeaching is a kind of charging)
'awfully cheap dime' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cheap'+'dime'='cheapdime'
'cheapdime' is an anagram of 'IMPEACHED'.
(Other definitions for impeached that I've seen before include "Prosecuted" , "accused" , "Cheap dime (anag.)" , "charged" .)
