WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The former recreation director for an eastern Kansas city has been indicted on federal charges alleging he embezzled more than $125,000 on the job.
Fifty-three-year-old Ron Maring of Osawatomie is charged with four counts of tax fraud and 10 counts of money laundering. His first court appearance is scheduled for March 27.
The indictment alleges that Maring embezzled the funds 2008 to 2011 while heading the Osawatomie Recreation Commission.
He’s accused of writing checks from the commission’s account to himself and to American Legion Baseball, then converting the money to his own use.
The indictment alleges he failed to report the embezzled money as income on his federal income taxes from 2008 through 2011.
Online court records do not show Maring as having an attorney reachable for comment.
