Former Washington State Probation Clerk Now Suspected Of Embezzling As Much As $800K

Maryann A. Rehaume, 55, now of Prescott Valley, Arizona and previously of Buckley, Washington is now suspected of embezzling as much as $800,000 from the Cowlitz County Probation Department where she had been employed as a secretary.  According to a state auditor's report, an additional $735,000 in questionable transactions have been identified beyond the $62,000 Rehaume has been charged with embezzling.  Rehume is believed to have siphoned funds from the county probation offender accounts over a period of nearly 6 years, from January 2005 to December 2010.  Rehaume is reported to be the wife of now-retired Longview police Sgt. Steve Rehaume who has not been accused of any wrongdoing in this matter.

Update (1/22/13): Rehaume was found guilty by a jury verdict of nine counts of second-degree theft and one count of misappropriation of accounts by a public officer following a four-day trial in Cowlitz County Superior Court in Washington.
