No one had this on their bingo cards this week:
As a “program assistant” — one former supervisor compared her day-to-day responsibilities to that of a secretary — Carroll kept a low profile through much of her first years, as she allegedly started an embezzlement scheme that pilfered nearly $2 million from the government entity she worked for.
and..
There, according to sources who spoke with The Dakota Scout, Carroll’s two-bedroom unit revealed that Carroll had an addiction to shopping — jewelry, clothes, and lotions — that became clear to anyone who stepped into her apartment.
So… Lonna Carroll, accused of stealing $1.8 million dollars from a program designed to help foster kids concocted her lotion larceny scheme to feed a shopping addiction?
Stealing from those who literally have the least to buy clothes and lotions? That’s more than a little messed up.
Wow 1.8mil on lotion? Had she never heard of bath and body’’s semi annual sale?
Will the new indigent fund pay for her court appointed attorney or is that up to the good taxpayers of Hughes?
She stole from at risk kids. For lotion.
Nice human race we got here. Great stuff happenin.
They need to move the Internal Controls to the independently elected state auditors office. It’s been 8 years and they haven’t finished on boarding government.
Maybe she had to put the lotion on the skin or she’d get the hose again.
the fact that a “Program Assistant” who performs clerical and minor administrative duties can steal 1.8 million dollars from one of the largest agencies in Government is a stunning revelation of just how loose, and negligent, middle management and financial controls are in State Government.
