Delaware State Police have arrested a 36-year-old Dagsboro man after an audit of a local fire company’s accounts revealed that more than $100,000 was missing.
Justin K. Oakley turned himself into detectives Tuesday after the Troop 4 Financial Crimes Unit received a forensic audit from the State of Delaware Office of Auditor of Accounts.
The audit indicated former Millville Volunteer Fire Department Treasurer, Justin Oakley, had conducted over $190,000.00 in personal transactions using fire department funds, while acting as the organization’s treasurer between January 1, 2012 and June 30, 2015.
The information came to light after Oakley admitted to Millville volunteer officials in a meeting around May of 2015 that he used the company’s money for personal transactions.
Oakley was charged with Theft over $100,000.00 and 100 counts of Falsifying Business Records. He was arraigned at JP3 and released after posting $12,500.00 secured bond.
