(KNZA)--A former Kickapoo Tribal Council official has been found guilty of fraud and misuse of tribal funds.

According to news release Friday from the tribe, former tribal treasurer Bobbi Darnell was convicted of six criminal counts following a jury trial.

The news release says complaints alleged Darnell and two other former tribal council officials acted to draw money from the tribe’s federal burial fund, then falsified resolutions showing the tribal council action was for a much larger amount.

The release says those amounts were transferred from the tribe’s burial fund, which is held by the federal government, to the tribe’s bank account, where the money was used to subsidize payroll and other tribal expenses.

Tribal Chairman Lester Randall said in a statement “All tribal members are disappointed by the illegal actions of Ms. Darnell who’s [sic] selfish actions serve to deprive needed resources for the benefit of those tribal members who benefit from the tribe’s burial fund. This conviction makes Ms. Darnell accountable to the Kickapoo tribal membership for this wrongdoing.”

Darnell is scheduled for sentencing March 27th.

Former chairman Steve Cadue and former secretary Adolph Cadue Jr. face similar criminal charges.
