A report of a welfare check was taken on Meadowbrook Drive.

June 15 continued from page 18 investigation of this case and found a total of $501,193 unaccounted for under Delarosa’s time as clerk for the Dierks City Water Department. Authorities also found bank accounts under her name that had unexplained cash deposits, along with possible gambling winnings, totaling approximately $261,000. Delarosa reportedly turned herself over to authorities in August of 2021 after state auditors discovered the missing funds. The funds were misappropriated from the Dierks Water and Sewer Departments between 2015-2020.

A theft report was taken from a walkin complainant.

June 16 No report.

June 17 No report.

During a state inquiry, officials with the City of Dierks said a lack of oversight and accounting of deposits and the city’s bookkeeping allegedly allowed Delarosa to misappropriate funds over the six-year period. Mayor Ronnie Cogburn said the issue came to light when the city was notified of unpaid bills and that money appropriated for those bills was not available.

Since Delarosa’s arrest Cogburn says procedures have been put in place to better account for the city’s finances.

In a statement, Mayor Cogburn said “After four years and many continuances, we are happy this matter is behind us. Receiving $164,000 upfront is best for the citizens of Dierks. We are thankful to the prosecuting attorney’s office for continuing to work over the last week to get a deal that better benefited the City of Dierks.”
