Bridgeport PUD embezzlement suspect surrenders

In April, the Mono County District Attorney’s Office was alerted to an allegation of misappropriation of funds from the Bridgeport Public Utility District. The DA’s Office then conducted an investigation, which revealed that former General Manager Cheryl Goode issued herself numerous unsubstantiated payments.

On May 17, Goode turned herself in at the Mono County Jail. She posted bail in the amount of $25,000 and is due to appear in Mono County Superior Court on June 5 to face charges of misappropriation of public funds. –PR
