WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (AP) - A former Webster City Chamber of Commerce administrative assistant has been accused of stealing more than $149,000 from the organization.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety said in a news release Wednesday that 40-year-old Leah Mulholland is charged with ongoing criminal conduct, theft, forgery and unauthorized use of a credit card. She was arrested Wednesday. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.
A state audit last year discovered improper payments for hotels, restaurants, a hair salon and other items. Mulholland had admitted to three chamber officials that she’d misused chamber funds.
Investigators discovered that Mulholland had issued 247 unauthorized checks totaling more than $149,000 from March 2015 through June 2018, the public safety department said.
