Man allegedly steals from high school's Class of 2013 bank account
CHEHALIS, Wash. -- A 43-year-old Chehalis resident is accused of stealing more than $8,000 from a bank account set up for the senior class at W.F. West High School.
According to the Chehalis Police Department, a number of parents complained in January that the Class of 2013 bank account had less money in it than they thought it should have.
An investigation revealed that the husband of the woman in charge of the account had used it to sign 14 checks ranging from $275 to $950 between June 2012 and September 2012, according to police.
When the woman in charge of the account learned about the theft, she paid back the $8,200 allegedly stolen by her husband.
The Lewis County Prosecutor's Office will now perform its own audit of the account.
The husband is potentially facing forgery and theft charges.
Why, if the money has been paid back, are they talking as if the fund is still short? There are three persons who have control over the account... the woman (whose husband is accused) and two other women. Is the fund still short? If so - by how much, and is this same man suspected... or is someone else also suspected?
The saddest part is that their kid is now facing humilation and being ostracized at school.
If the woman had no idea about it, I bet she is LIVID! I know I would be if my husband ever did something like that. If she was unaware of this, if I were her, I'd be talking to a divorce attorney. I would never be married to someone who has no integrity and thinks its ok to steal and put his own family into jeopardy. Unless they have already dismissed her, she could be at risk for getting charged as an accessory.
If, on the other hand, she was fully aware of this, then she should be prosecuted as well. I'm curious though, if she was in charge of this account, how did she not know about the checks being written and the money disappearing?Â
"The husband is potentially facing forgery and theft charges"....and possibly a divorce?
If you pull the Lucky Eagle Casino video tapes, I bet, (sic), you will find him playing the tables with the High Schools money.
43. Age =/= wisdom. It can, however = douchery. Â
I sense a divorce looming.Â
Such a big man, stealing from kids.
