| Carolyn Modeste is accused of stealing six-figure worth of fees from citizens |
According to Miami Shore Police, instead of placing cash fees paid by citizizens in the banks, she'd instead put them in her own pocket. She's then try to cover up the loses by depositing other fees paid by checks that were collected but not previously deposited.
She's being charged with first-degree grand theft, organized scheme to defraud and official misconduct.
Modeste's lawyer tells CBS4 that she filed an EEOC complaint against the village a year ago, and that these charges are merely retaliation.
