By Associated Press TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - A former fiscal analyst at the McNeil Island Corrections Center has been charged stealing $103,000.
Forty-eight-year-old Colleen L. Brixey is accused of taking the money from a fund used to improve the lives of prison inmates. Brixey pleaded innocent Friday to theft and forgery, and bail was set at $5,000.
According to prosecutors, the case came to light after a bank representative called to verify a check in November. The check was written to Brixey's husband and bore the name of another worker in the office who said the signature was not his.
An audit indicated that signatures were forged on 36 checks totaling $103,000 over a two-year period. All were written to Brixey's husband and deposited in the couple's account.
