PTO Treasurer Arrested For Theft

Last updated on Friday, March 18, 2016

(ALLEN CO.) - A Hoagland woman who served as the treasurer for the Heritage Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (P.T.O.) was arrested Thursday morning following a four month long investigation into allegations she had been stealing money from the P.T.O.

An investigation was initiated, at the request of the Heritage High School P.T.O., by Indiana State Police Detective Clint Hetrick and Allen County Police Detective Doug Keller in November 2015 following an audit after a large amount of money was discovered to have been missing from the elementary P.T.O.

Hetrick and Keller's investigation revealed that between January 2013 and November 2014, 36-year-old Genevieve M. Meyer had used the elementary P.T.O's credit card and had withdrawn money, together totaling in excess of $18,000.

As a result of their investigation, the Allen County Prosecutor's Office charged Meyer with two counts of theft.

Meyer was arrested without incident Thursday morning at her home and incarcerated in the Allen County Jail.
