Charges laid in fraud case

A former staff leader at the Downtown Penticton Association is facing fraud charges.

“In November of 2016, a newly appointed executive director for the Downtown Penticton Association, reported to police a possible fraud having occurred within the association. The Penticton RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) entered into a thorough investigation,” said Const. James Grandy, media relations officer for Penticton RCMP.

On June 11, the BC Prosecution Service approved charges of fraud over $5,000 and falsifying documents against former DPA executive director Kerrilynn Milton.

Milton was arrested by the RCMP and released on a number of conditions. She is scheduled to make her first court appearance on July 15, 2020, in Penticton Provincial Court.
