BROOKINGS, SD (KELO.com) — Legislative leaders are eager to begin work to unravel a $1.8-million embezzlement case within the South Dakota Department of Social Services. Former employee Lonna Carroll is accused of embezzling the money over a 13-year period. Brookings Senator Tim Reed is a member of the Government Operations Audit Committee. In addition to learning how it happened, he wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Carroll was arrested last week in Iowa, and is awaiting extradition to South Dakota.
