CAYUGA, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – A former Cayuga clerk-treasurer received five years of probation for stealing from the town’s utility department.
Investigators say Sami Dillon stole $44,000 by not depositing utility receipts.
Dillon was one of 15 public officials from across the state arrested last year following the State Board of Accounts “Operation Public Accountability.”
Dillon pleaded guilty last week to federal charges of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds.
In addition to the probation sentence, she was also ordered to pay a total of $52,812.70 restitution to the Town of Cayuga.
