Former Lynch Clerk Placed On Bond
Following a five month Kentucky State Police investigation, 33 year old Kellie Maggard, former Lynch City Clerk in Harlan County, was arrested Wednesday after being accused of stealing more than $137,000. Investigators say she wrote and forged Mayor Bob Collier's name on 75 checks totaling $50,804 and took cash payments of $86,348 while falsely entering utilities as paid. More than $500 in city electric bills had gone unpaid. Maggard was bonded for $25,000. She was taken to Harlan County Detention Center and placed on a $100,000 full cash bond.
