Former Treasurer Accused of Ripping Off Boulder Hill PTA

A Plainfield woman is accused of bilking the non-profit out of more than $4,000.

Kendall County Sheriff's police said they're looking for a former Boulder Hill Elementary School Parent Teacher Association member accused of stealing more than $4,000 from the group.

Deputy Bryan Harl said a warrant was issued March 13 for Meredith Henry, a 36-year-old from Plainfield, in connection with the alleged theft. Henry was treasurer for the PTA at the time of the theft, according to police.

Harl said the PTA reported the missing money in September, saying that more than $4,000 went missing from the PTA bank account between July 1 and July 31, 2013.

Following a six-month investigation by sheriff's police, the warrant was issued for Henry's arrest on a charge of theft, a Class 3 felony. Her bond has been set at $7,500, Harl said.

Harl said Henry has yet to turn herself in.

The Kendall County Sheriff's Department is asking anyone who has information on her whereabouts to contact  Crimestoppers at (630) 553-5999. Callers can remain anonymous, and are eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
