REDDING, Calif. (AP) - The former manager of the Shasta County Farm Bureau faces charges of stealing more than $78,000 from the nonprofit.

Shasta County prosecutors say Melissa Lockie stole the money over a period of seven years, from January 2002 to August 2009.

The president of the Palo Cedro-based farm bureau says he and other board members had trusted Lockie.

Lockie resigned last August after board members planned to question her at a board meeting. However, she didn’t show up for the meeting.

That prompted an audit and an investigation by the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department.

Lockie is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Shasta County Superior Court on charges of embezzlement and theft.

Lockie could not be reached Saturday by The Associated Press.
