A former interim credit union CEO was accused of allegedly stealing more than $130,000 from the $7 million N.G.H. Credit Union in Nashville, Tenn., the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday.
TBI, the state’s primary criminal investigative agency, alleged that Ashley Rubbert Comer, 30, of Old Hickory, Tenn., stole the funds while she was the interim CEO of the credit union.
She allegedly opened loans in the names of family and friends without their consent and accessed the funds for her personal use.
Comer also allegedly wrote checks against her own bank account on several occasions while knowing she didn’t have sufficient funds to cover the amounts.
The TBI did not say when Comer was the interim CEO, but the credit union’s profile report filed with the NCUA shows that she was listed as the CEO during the fourth quarter of 2014. Sean Neumann is listed as the CEO in the credit union’s 2015 first quarter profile report.
TBI said Comer (pictured at left) was charged with one count of forgery, one count of theft of more than $60,000 and eight counts of writing worthless checks.
She is being held in the Davidson County Jail in Nashville on a $100,000 bond.
N.G.H. Credit Union President/CEO Joseph Amellio declined to comment about the case when reached by CU Times Wednesday.
