FORMER CITY
WORKER CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT
Denver District
Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. filed formal charges today against a
former Denver city employee and another man accused of stealing
money from the city.
Derrick L. Brown
(DOB: 10-20-76) is charged with two counts of theft (F3),
two counts of embezzlement of public property (F5), and
conspiracy (F4).
Marcus L. Milon
(DOB: 9-3-77) is charge with theft (F3) and conspiracy
(F4).
The charges allege
that in 2002 Milon created fictitious company invoices that
Brown “approved” and sent through the city’s payment process
while he worked in the Public Works department.
The charges allege that Milon received two checks from the city
totaling $23,330 and shared the money with Brown.
The charges also
allege that in 1999 Brown intercepted and cashed a check for
$21,193 from Denver Health that was supposed to go to Denver’s
Asset Management division, to the attention of Derek Brown.
Brown and Milon
voluntarily surrendered today and were taken into custody. Bond
was set at $25,000 for Brown. Bond for Milon was set at
$10,000. Their next court date was not available late Monday.
