WDN Drops the Ball
Okay, here I was, just about to email Jonathan re: today’s CAFTA story and tell him what a fine job he did writing that article — and an email from a friend in Raleigh arrives as I’m typing. WOW, did the Washington Daily News ever miss a BIG story. Man-oh-man. Tranter’s Creek camper accused of embezzling over $1,000,000.
The Arrest of Carol Dail Finch in Tranter’s Creek Campground!
The first arrest was made Monday in an investigation into how employees might have defrauded the Wake school system of more than $2 million to buy items such as personal watercraft, campers and wide-screen televisions.
Carol Dail Finch, 42, of Tranter’s Creek Campground at 6573 Clark’s Neck Road in Washington, N.C., was arrested by the State Bureau of Investigation on a charge of obtaining property by false pretenses, a felony. She is accused of stealing more than $1 million and is being held at the Wake County jail with bail set at $1 million.
Finch, who used to live in Johnston County, was the former budget and technology analyst for the school transportation department. Her attorney, Jack O’Hale, did not immediately return calls Monday evening.
