Former Manager Of Non-profit Convicted Of Theft
In January 2011, the Investigative Services Branch was contacted by members of the board of directors of the Grand Canyon Recreation Center, a not for profit organization operating within the confines of Grand Canyon National Park. They suspected that the former manager of the recreation center had employed center funds for personal use over a period of two years. During the investigation, two federal search warrants were served and a number of items purchased with the center's funds were recovered. In February, C.B., the former manager, pled guilty in US District Court for the District of Arizona to one charge of theft. She was sentenced to five years' probation and restitution in the amount of $41,342.51. [Investigative Services Branch]
