PLEASANTON, Texas ā Two officials of a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Pleasanton were arrested Wednesday after police accused them of embezzling $10,000 from the organization.
Steve Mueller, 45, and Stephanie Pino, 50, were both charged with misapplication of fiduciary funds, a state jail felony.
Mueller served as the post commander, while Pino served as a post adjutant and quartermaster, according to a news release from the police department.
Police began their investigation in March, when another VFW official discovered that $10,000 was "misused," according to the news release.
After months of investigation and speaking to witnesses, police obtained arrest warrants for the duo and brought them into custody.
