Debra Jean Lund is facing felony embezzlement charges of $25,000 or more but less than $100,000 after allegedly siphoning monies from the local Cub Scouts between November 12, 2017, and July 31, 2022.
According to the criminal complaint, Lund did "unlawfully, while being a bailee of money, goods, or property, convert $50,199.49 to her use with the intent to steal or defraud the owners, while being an agent, manager, or clerk of an entity in which money, property, or effects have been deposited or entrusted." The charge is a Category B felony and carries a potential penalty of 1-10 years in the Nevada Department of Corrections and a fine of up to $10,000.
On February 15, a summons was filed petitioning Lund to appear in Justice Court before Judge Benjamin Trotter for an April 10 arraignment. However, the matter was continued to May 10, then again to July 13 at 8:30 a.m.
Reno attorney Paul Wolfe, Esq, represents Lund, who waived a formal arraignment.
All persons facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Allegations or charges filed do not constitute guilt.
