Former Pickaway County Agency Official Convicted Of Theft

Pickaway County Sheriff's Office

The former director of the Pickaway County Veterans Services department has been convicted of stealing more than 18 thousand dollars from the agency to feed her gambling addiction and support her lifestyle. Prosecutors say 52-year-old Rebecca Lee used county credit cards and phony vehicle mileage reimbursements to accumulate the money.  Lee was fired in December 2014, when the  allegations surfaced. She also made news after a Nazi flag under her control disappeared from her office.
