Group’s treasurer accused of stealing money earmarked for animal shelter
Duane Cooper, a Pineville lawyer and member of the society’s board of directors, said in a phone interview Wednesday that the organization has a new registered agent, and that plans call for the organization to be reinstated.
The organization had raised about $120,000 en route to a target goal of about $200,000, Cooper said. Plans called for part of the money to be used to construct the shelter, with the other part to finance operations until the shelter could become self-sustaining.
“This is, of course, a major setback for us,” Cooper said, noting that the organization would ask the Newton County prosecutor’s office to compel restitution.
Cooper said the society’s board of directors has not met for some time, but that it has continued raising money and making deposits. Although board members generally were aware of how much money had been raised, Cooper said, no monthly financial statements were circulated.
“We had always believed her to be trustworthy,” Cooper said of LeSueur, citing her credentials as a city official with Noel and a former legal secretary.
Cooper said the organization still plans to construct a “much-needed” animal shelter for the area.
Next up
A conference in the case of Patsy L. LeSueur has been set for 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22, in the Associate Division of Newton County Circuit Court.
