Court Date
City Treasurer Mike Reynolds is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 5 in San Bernardino Superior Court, he and his attorney Patrick Milligan said.
Reynolds, 58, was arrested last week on suspicion of misappropriation of public funds, keeping a false record; and falsifying documents. He has denied any wrongdoing and Milligan said his client will plead innocent to the charges. The amount of money involved in the case is about $37,000.
The arrest stemmed from an investigation that is being conducted by the District Attorney's Public Integrity Unit. Deputy District Attorney John Goritz said the probe is still ongoing.
Milligan said he has collected copies of the city's financial records and is confident that an audit will exonerate his client.
"We're having those reviewed by an accountant," he said. "It's either an accounting error or a physical error."
