(KNZA)--A Soldier woman is accused of the theft of funds from the Holton American Legion Auxiliary while serving as president of the Auxiliary.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a news release, said 50-year-old Paula Keating was arrested Monday on a Jackson County District Court warrant for five counts of misdemeanor theft and four counts of felony forgery.
The warrant was issued following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.
Morse said the crimes are alleged to have occurred between January 2015 and January 2017.
He said Keating as one of the signers on the bank account, allegedly diverted money from the account for her own personal use. Some of the transfers of unauthorized funds allegedly were done by forging false signatures and documents.
As a result of the monetary loss, the Auxiliary was forced to disband.
Keating was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
