Former Del City Execs Charged With Embezzlement
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Two people who held executive positions with the Del City Housing Authority are charged with embezzling from the agency.
Authorities say 50-year-old Tammy L. Nix of Shawnee and 30-year-old Christa J. Barnhill of El Reno are accused of using housing authority credit cards for personal purchases that total more than $20,000. The women were charged Thursday in Oklahoma County District Court with one count each of embezzlement by a public employee.
Nix and Barnhill are accused of spending on groceries, movies, music and restaurant meals.
Court papers allege Nix made unauthorized charges of $7,692 and Barnhill improperly spent $12,403.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development investigated the spending.
