FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) - A judge has ordered a former treasurer of the Webster County Democrats Central Committee to pay back what she stole from the committee.
The Messenger reports (https://bit.ly/2q7FZNR ) that 70-year-old Diana Petraline (PEH’-truh-lyne) was sentenced Monday to pay the nearly $16,000 in restitution and serve three years of probation. She’d pleaded guilty to felony fraudulent practices.
A criminal complaint says Petraline made false entries in the committee’s financial records from 2010 through November 2015.
The case was handled by the state attorney general’s office so the county attorney’s office could avoid any potential conflict of interest.
