Moorhead, Minn. (WDAY TV) - More details are coming out about a bookkeeper who's accused of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Moorhead church synod.
Preliminary audits now show 60-year-old Robert Larson transferred more than $714-thousand dollars in unauthorized funds from the Northwestern Minnesota ELCA Synod. Larson has not been criminally charged in this case.
Back in January, police believe he took $250-thousand dollars by transferring it into a nonprofit program for which he served as a volunteer bookkeeper. A final audit report could come out this week, but the $714-thousand dollar amount isn't expected to change much.
Police think Larson used the money to pay off a car loan and a home loan and toward a $150-thousand dollar renovation of his home, and also for his living expenses.
