Ex-Treasurer For Nonprofit Charged With Depleting Accounts

EASTON, Md. (AP) -- Maryland State Police have charged the former treasurer of a Talbot County nonprofit with stealing from the organization.

Forty-year-old Lisa N. Gowe of Neavitt was charged Thursday with theft scheme, $100,000 plus.

Troopers say in January, members of the Talbot Watermen's Association contacted state police and alleged that Gowe, then the group's treasurer and event organizer, depleted the association's bank accounts.

Investigators say bank records show that Gowe wrote numerous checks written, made withdrawals, debits and electronic money transfers that were not authorized.

Police say Gowe used the money for herself and not the Watermen's Association.
