According to a report in the morning's Bradford Era, 44 year old Colleen
Nobles has been charged with embezzelment.

Nobles was the former Tax Chief at the McKean County Tax Office.

On May 2, County Solicitor Michelle Alfieri requested an investigation after
fishy numbers showed up in an audit of the tax office records.

Nobles is also charged with tampering of records, and misapplication of
entrusted property.

The audit showed that Nobles did not pay her 2003 taxes until 2006. That gap
should have resulted in the property going up for a tax sale. The court
records indicate she may have inflated the taxes on another property as well
to cover for her own.
