(KNZA)--Bond has been revoked and a bench warrant issued for a former Hiawatha Chamber of Commerce board member accused of embezzling funds from the organization.
That came after 42-year-old Beth Mikita failed to show up for her preliminary hearing Wednesday morning in a Brown County courtroom.
Her attorney requested a continuance, which a judge denied. County Attorney Kevin Hill then requested a bench warrant be issued for Mikita’s arrest and bond revoked, which was approved.
Mikita is charged with felony theft, criminal use of a financial card and identity fraud.
She’s charged with the alleged unauthorized use of an account belonging to the Chamber between August 2014 and April 2015 while serving as treasurer of the Chamber board.
Authorities haven’t disclosed the amount of money involved in the case, but court documents indicate it was between $1,000 and $10,000.
