A former fire chief in Border City, near Waterloo, is facing state charges for the alleged theft of $16,000 from the fire company.
The state Comptroller's Office says John Morabito siphoned the money from a fire company bank account over six years, ending in 2021.
He allegedly made $2,000 in purchases for himself on a fire company credit card.
Morabito was arrested last week and is charged with grand larceny.
His next court date is October 25.
