SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A former county treasurer is suspected of embezzling tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars.
Utah State Auditor John Dougall released a report Monday saying three years of thefts amounted to more than $90,000.
Kane County Commission chair Dirk Clayson told KUTV-TV that former Kane County Treasurer Georgia Baca turned in her letter of resignation when the she was given the opportunity to explain.
Baca had been placed on administrative leave in February.
County officials say $56,182 in cash is unaccounted for and that Baca transferred $34,600 to her personal account as well as $1,612 to her Verizon Wireless account.
The Kane County Sheriff's Department says arrests have not been made.
Dougall said it's likely a neighboring county would handle prosecution.
