Arkansas State Police say Diamond City Mayor Jan Hudson was arrested Tuesday on a warrant for theft of more than $4,000.
The Harrison Daily Times reports Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler says the 57-year-old Hudson surrendered to State Police and Boone County authorities Tuesday.
Hudson faces a charge of theft of property associated with an investigation by ASP special agents with the criminal investigation division and the Division of Legislative Audit.
Sadler says although Hudson is Diamond City mayor, the criminal charge is associated with her work as treasurer of the Diamond City Community Center.
The investigation alleges theft by Hudson in the amount of $4,550. Online jail records indicate Hudson was booked into the Boone County Detention Center on a bond of $1,500 about 11:00 Tuesday morning and released about 30 minutes later.
