Danielsville, Ga. — A former Madison County deputy clerk has been arrested and charged with stealing more than $80,000 in county funds.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested Melinda Watson Spence on Friday on one count of felony theft by taking.
Jim Fullington, special agent in charge of the GBI’s Athens office, said, “Right now, the audit indicated approximately $86,000 was missing, and we feel comfortable that we have enough evidence to show she was involved in at least $80,000 of the missing funds.”
He said the 40-year-old Spence over time was able to embezzle the money without being noticed.
