ARLINGTON (AP) — Gilliam County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a former Arlington School District deputy clerk on accusations of theft, forgery and official misconduct.

The deputies drove Danielle Galbert of Hermiston to the North Oregon Regional Correctional Facility. The 34-year-old was later released on $75,000 bail.

Arlington Superintendent Raymon Smith said this week that the school district placed Galbert on leave on Sept. 26 after suspicions led to a financial audit that found evidence of fraud.

Galbert resigned five days later, citing health reasons.

She had been a district employee since September 2005.

No court dates have been set.
