GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A Gainesville city employee has been arrested after police say she charged tens of thousands of dollars in personal purchases on city credit cards.
The Gainesville Sun (https://bit.ly/2oigEfx) reports that 33-year-old Natwaina Sharee Clark was arrested Tuesday and charged with grand theft and scheming to defraud.
Clark was a staff assistant for Gainesville’s cultural affairs manager and parks manager, and she was given a city credit card for city business. Yet during a recent financial audit, her managers noticed she’d made unapproved purchases dating back to November 2015 totaling $91,598. Many were made during non-business hours.
