During that time, Ford handled various financial tasks, including vendor calls, cookie sales transactions and bill payments.

Court records say Ford was given a company credit card meant to be used for official business only. However, investigators say Ford used the card for personal Amazon purchases and to Venmo her mother $1,486.

Police say Ford wrote an apology letter to the council and has agreed to pay back all the money.

Ford is now facing one count of Embezzlement over $1,000.
