The Chicago Tribune has an article about a former treasurer of the Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Department that has been convicted of embezzling fire department funds:
The former treasurer of the Glen Ellyn volunteer fire department was sentenced to five years in prison Friday for embezzling more than a quarter-million dollars from the department over a seven-year period.
David W. Garmoe, 56, a former volunteer firefighter, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of theft over $100,000. He was arrested in May 2011 after an investigation revealed that he had written dozens of department checks to himself and to his business, Fireground Supply in West Chicago.
The department noticed the discrepancy in February 2011 and alerted the police department, which conducted an investigation. Garmoe was placed on leave and arrested three months later.
