Ex-Children's Advocacy Center Head Pleads Not Guilty of Embezzlement

The former head of San Angelo's Children's Advocacy Center has pleaded not guilty to charges to six counts of theft involving programs that received federal funds. Debra Brown entered the plea in front of a U-S magistrate in Lubbock. The indictment alleges Brown embezzled over a quarter of a million dollars from the Center. Brown was with the Children's Advocacy Center for sixteen years. She resigned in February after an internal audit uncovered irregularities. The Center's board then turned the findings over to the Texas Rangers and the F-B-I. Trial date has now been set for November ninth in Lubbock.
