FROM KGAN.COM -
The former business manager for Lake Mills Community Schools has been arrested on six charges, accused of stealing more than $260,000 from the northern Iowa district.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that 44-year-old Christine Mathahs was arrested Monday. The six charges against Mathahs include money laundering and theft.
Mathahs resigned in December after the district superintendent questioned about her travel and spending and asked the state auditor's office to investigate.
In a June 30 report, the auditor's office cited inappropriate spending totaling $262,000. The report said the misspending included checks Mathahs issued between 2005 and 2010 from the district's bank account to pay off at least 12 of her credit card accounts.
Court records don't yet list Mathahs case or the name of her attorney.
