(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a former Hiawatha Chamber of Commerce board member accused of embezzling funds from the organization has been postponed again.
The hearing for 42-year-old Beth Mikita was continued Wednesday to February 10th. Her court-appointed attorney requested the continuance, citing medical reasons.
Mikita faces charges of felony theft, criminal use of a financial card and identity fraud.
She is charged with the alleged unauthorized use of an account belonging to the Chamber between August 2014 and April 2015 while serving as treasurer for 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.
Mikita was arrested last November following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.
She remains free on bond.
