Former Chamber Treasurer Waives Hearing

(KNZA)--A former Hiawatha Chamber of Commerce treasurer accused of embezzling funds from the organization will stand trial on charges.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says 43-year-old Beth Mikita waived her preliminary hearing Wednesday and was bound over to Brown County District Court for arraignment on April 29th.

Mikita is charged with felony theft, criminal use of a financial card and identity fraud.

She’s charged with the alleged unauthorized use of an account belonging to the Chamber between August 2014 and April 2015 while serving as treasurer of the Chamber board.

Authorities haven’t disclosed the amount of money involved in the case, but court documents indicate it was between $1,000 and $10,000.
