from www.newsok.com – A woman accused of embezzling $80,000 from Oklahoma State University has been ordered to trial during a preliminary hearing on Thursday.
Payne County prosecutors say Cynthia Shirleen Low, 46, used a university-issued credit card to buy sex toys and other personal items.
Witnesses listed in court documents included Frank Blum, of OSU’s chemistry department, and Brenna Dixon, a forensic accountant in the university controller’s office.
Low, who faces up to 10 years in state prison and a hefty fine if convicted, remains free on $25,000 bail. She’s due back in court Dec. 30 for an arraignment.
Low is accused of buying items “that would not be used by the OSU chemistry department,” such as sex toys, clothes, electronics, jewelry and other personal items, between July 2008 and February 2010, records show.
The Yale woman resigned from her job in OSU’s chemistry department in February 2010.
Documents show that a fellow OSU employee approached university police one month later, saying she believed Low had used her school-issued credit card to make personal purchases.
The informant showed several invoices to police, which allegedly showed that Low had doctored receipts to make improper purchases look legitimate.
Investigators also found evidence of invoice tampering on Low’s work computer.
The suspect and her husband, Tommy Alan Low, filed for bankruptcy protection in June 2008, claiming more than $150,000 in debt.
Authorities say the embezzlement in OSU’s chemistry department began about a month later.
