Elizabeth Sherwood, a resident of Kelowna, is receiving charges for theft, fraud and uttering forged documents. Sherwood took nearly $23 000 from Okanagan Mission Secondary School fundraising funds. This account was maintained by parents outside the school for the Okanagan Mission School band. Sherwood was the treasurer of this account. When the other parents saw some unplanned withdrawals and irregular activity last February they contacted the police. When the police investigated this account they found 37 forged cheques within the time period of May 2010 and August 2011. The forged cheques added up to be $22 894.12.
Elizabeth Sherwood will appear in court on May 12. She faces charges of theft over $5000, uttering forged documents and fraud over $5000.
This relates to Law 12 because theft is a crime and she will have to go to court for her actions.
How I See It....
In my opinion, Sherwood should face these charges. Sherwood must of needed the money badly for her to steal from her own children and friends. $23 000 is a lot of money.
I agree she should face charges. She should look into social assistance if she is in dire financial circumstances to prevent further impulses such as this one.
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting! Ive never heard of this story! But i agree with what marie said that she should face charges.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marie and Alexa, especially since she abused her role as treasurer of the school's funds...SUCKS
