MERCER COUNTY — The union representing Mercer County correction officers has discovered that about $15,000 was stolen from its bank account and used for a variety of purchases, the union treasurer said yesterday.
Treasurer James Kinley said he reviewed the bank account for PBA 167 last week and learned there were charges in amounts from $100 to more than $2,000 for credit card payments and purchases from retail stores such as Gap and Lord & Taylor.
“No one authorized this,” Kinley said.
The mysterious charges began Nov. 28 and continued until Kinley and union President Donald Ryland suspended the bank account on Friday.
