Minnie Marie Wilson, 38, of 307 E. Fourth Street in Forsan, was indicted on a charge of theft by a public servant — more than $20,000, less than $100,000, following an extensive investigation spanning approximately eight years, according to BSPD officials.

“The money reported to have been stolen was from deposits made on animal control fees and various other city fees collected by this department and deposited with the city finance officer,” said Big Spring Police Chief Lonnie Smith shortly after Wilson’s arrest. “The reported thefts date back to December of 2000. Mrs. Wilson was employed here since March 22, 1998.”

Wilson was arrested Nov. 8 following extensive financial research that yielded a warrant for theft by a public servant over $20,000, a second-degree felony, according to Smith.

If convicted, Wilson could face two to 20 years in prison, accompanied by a fine not to exceed $10,000. Smith said the case was investigated by Det. Jim Rider.
