MERIDIAN, Idaho (AP) - Idaho State Police say one of the agency’s brand inspectors has resigned after being charged with two felonies involving a check writing scheme.
Police in a statement late Monday say 32-year-old Justin Archer of Kimberley resigned after being charged with grand theft and conspiracy to commit grand theft.
The Jerome County Sheriff’s Office says Georgina Zamora wrote a check from funds held from cattle sales by her employer, Producers Livestock, to Archer.
Police say the two then split the money.
The Times-News reports (https://bit.ly/1OcPmgj) that Producers Livestock discovered the check late last week and contacted the sheriff’s office Monday.
Idaho State Police say the check has no relation to Archer’s duties as a brand inspector and that the agency is cooperating with the sheriff’s office.
