A Sacramento resident was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of participating in the theft and fraudulent deposit of checks issued by the Novato Unified School District.
Deputies said they received a report on April 11 that checks issued by the school district had been stolen from the mail and subsequently deposited by an unknown person or persons. The checks totaled more than $150,000 in funds that were intended for various vendors that were used by the district for various school expenses.
Kevonte Keosodsay, 22, was identified by Marin County Sheriff’s Office detectives for allegedly depositing stolen checks.
Last Wednesday, a search warrant was served at his Sacramento home, where deputies say further evidence of stolen school district funds was discovered.
He was booked into the Marin County Jail on suspicion of fraud and other crimes.
Authorities suspect that other suspects may be involved in the thefts.
