ALBION, MI (WTVB) – Just five months into her new job as Albion’s City Manager, LaTonya Rufus has resigned and is now facing legal problems.
She was placed on Administrative Leave two months ago by the Albion City Council. Rufus has reportedly agreed to repay $6,500 in disputed moving expenses as part of a settlement.
Calhoun County Prosecutor David Gilbert told the Battle Creek Enquirer that warrants have been issued for Rufus which charge her with two counts of embezzlement.
One of the charges is embezzlement by a public official over $50 which carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison.
