A now former town clerk in North Carolina is facing charges after officials say she embezzled
The NCSBI says Lauren Ashley Hoggard who was a clerk in the Beaufort County town of Chocowinity, voided her own utility bills, overpaid herself on payroll and took cash that belonged to the town.
Hoggard has since been arrested on three counts of embezzlement by a public official and was booked in Pitt County, North Carolina.
