[edit] Westwood Heights clerk embezzles $41,000 from school
The Westwood Heights School District in Flint, Michigan recently discovered that Sue Ann Ingersoll, 48, of Clio was working as the accounts payable clerk when she allegedly used school credit cards to make more than $41,000 in personal purchases. The purchases bought her things such as gasoline, groceries and clothing.[1]
The charges come less than a year after Dana L. Bacon pleaded guilty to embezzling $1.2 million from the Montrose School District, while serving as pay supervisor.
The slight was caught by Dale Ingle, who served as treasurer for the district's school board and couldn't find any paper copies for taxes in files. Ingersoll has been given the choice to pay the school board back or face prison for one year. There has been no discussion of placing the rest of the schools finances under a more transparent system.
