A National Consumers League accountant pleaded admitted this week that she orchestrated a scheme to embezzle more than $200,000 from the organization.
Carolyn Mitchell, 47, pleaded guilty to a charge of forging securities. Prosecutors said she deposited checks from donors to NCL and checks from the District-based organization to its vendors into her own bank account.
In total, Mitchell took in $210,800 from the nonprofit consumer-advocacy organization, court records show. The thefts took place between March 2005 and May 2010.
She is scheduled to be sentenced on June 24.
