For the second time in less than a decade, a former city clerk in the small Delaware County town of Delhi has been charged with mishandling thousands of dollars in city funds. Angela Billings pleaded guilty in 2017 and was sentenced to more than a year in federal prison for embezzling over $100,000 from the City of Delhi. Lori Tucker replaced Billings as Delhi’s City Clerk and she has now been charged with first and second-degree theft and with tampering with records.
According to our news partners at Radio Iowa, a special investigation by the State Auditor’s Office found Tucker used the city’s credit card and checking account for improper purchases while she was Delhi’s City Clerk. The review also found Tucker paid herself for excessive overtime and vacation. Auditors flagged over $80,000 in improper or unsupported spending.
