Law question_______?

On Saturday after the annual dues meeting of the Grange, the treasurer stopped at a food mart for gasoline and some groceries. Being low on cash, he used the collected money to pay his bill and replaced it on Monday when he received his paycheck. Name the crime that has been committed and give its definition.

I would guess embezzlement.

He is the treasurer, and lawfully in possession of those funds. He then used those funds to pay for his personal items. The money he used to replace the borrowed funds is not the same money he received, so therefore embezzlement.

Does not matter that he returned the funds because he must return the same EXACT money that he took.

Depending on how the statute is written I would say either embezzlement or theft.


robin l
embezzlement

if any officer, agent, clerk or servant of this state, or of any county, district, school destrict or municipal corporation, or of any banking institution, or other corporation, or any officer of public trust in this state, or any agent, cleark or servant of any firm or person, or company or association of persons not incorportated, embezzles or fraudulently converts to his own use, bullion, money, bank notes, drafts, security for money, or any effects or property of any other person, which shall have come into his possession, or been placed under his care or mangement, by virtue of his office, place or employment, he shall be guilty of the larceny thereof.

the wording probably differs a little from state to state
