GIRL SCOUT LEADERS INDICTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT

(01/17/2015)

Two Parkersburg women, Denise Davis and Mary Farnworth, have been indicted on charges that they used Girl Scout funds to take a trip to Florida. Both are former troop leaders of the Girls Scouts of the Black Diamond Council, Davis still working as the council's director of membership services. A Wood County grand jury indicted them on charges of embezzlement and conspiracy to commit a felony. Special prosecutor Joshua Downey from Roane says the women allegedly used $2,400 from cookie and yard sales to take their daughters and a friend to Sea World in 2011. Downey says the money came from outreach groups. The Black Diamond Council serves most of West Virginia.
