BOARD MEMBER CHARGED WITH THEFT
Denver District
Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. has filed charges against a woman
accused of stealing more than $34,000 over the last two years
from the bank in which she worked.
Christine Baca
(DOB: 11-20-66) is charged with theft (F3) and
computer crime (F3).
The charges allege
that between July 2002 and August 2004, Baca used her work
computer at Bank of Denver to transfer money into accounts that
she could access and withdraw from. She was terminated from the
bank in August when phony transactions were first discovered by
bank personnel.
Baca voluntarily
surrendered on her arrest warrant this morning, completed the
booking process and is expected to be released on a $2,500
personal recognizance bond.
Baca is a member of
the Colorado State Board of Education representing the 7th
Congressional District.
