A former treasurer with a parent-teacher group at a Scottsdale middle school turned herself in Tuesday after allegations surfaced that she embezzled thousands of dollars.
Nubia Gonzalez went missing last week after she was accused of stealing $36,000 from the Cocopah Association of Parents and Teachers, a group that raises money for activities for Cocopah Middle School. She was elected the group’s treasurer in April.
Gonzalez surrendered to Scottsdale police Tuesday afternoon, the department confirmed. She was booked on suspicion of theft, forgery and fraudulent schemes, and her bond was set at $40,000.
The money has not yet been returned.
