Oregon Firefighter Pleads Gulity to Stealing from Association
WARRENTON, Ore. - A volunteer firefighter pleaded guilty stealing more than $22,000 from the Warrenton Firefighters Association.
Christopher Bartlett pleaded guilty Wednesday to first- and second-degree theft and first-degree forgery.
Clatsop County Judge Phil Nelson sentenced Bartlett to 40 days on work crew and a five-year probation period. Bartlett must also repay the money.
As treasurer, Bartlett had access to the Warrenton Firefighters Association's two bank accounts - a business account used for incidentals and the Christmas food-drive account.
Prosecutors say he dipped into both.
The department on the North Coast is rewriting some of the bylaws so there are more eyes going over finances.
