Benjamin Joseph Chaney, believed to be in his early 30s, and Kara Leigh Brown, believed to be in her early 40s, of Discovery Bay, California, were indicted Wednesday on 7 counts of theft and embezzlement with “Aggravated White Collar Crime” enhancements alleging they stole more than $500,000 from an unnamed business based in Davis. The indictment alleges that Chaney had served as CFO of the company and, over a four year period between 2003 and 2007, used his position to write checks and use the company credit card for "a multitude of personal expenses related to the couple’s home, vehicles and entertainment." The indictment is the culmination of 2 years of investigation and litigation in Yolo County, California. The couple were arrested last weekend.
