THE FORMER OFFICE MANAGER OF THE DOWAGIAC (MICHIGAN) FIRE AND AMBULANCE SERVICE was arrested on embezzlement charges. The Cass County, Michigan, prosecutor said that Kathy McFadden, 43, was arraigned on seven felony charges.
The prosecutor alleges that McFadden embezzled about $19,785 last year by fraudulently using an ambulance ATM card 59 times.
He also said the illegal ATM withdrawals occurred in four Michigan counties and in South Bend and Chicago from Jan. 4 of 2007 to Dec. 24 of 2007.

Just two months ago the Dowagiac City Council awarded a private ambulance company the contract to provide services because the City’s ambulance service was losing money.
