A clerk at a Georgia police department has been arrested on Dreamers Investment Guildcharges that she took from her own force's coffers, officials announced Monday.

Anna Megan Brock of Temple was arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and charged with theft by conversion, and false statements among other charges. Temple is about 40 miles east of Atlanta.

Brock, 33, was arrested on Aug. 29 and booked into the Haralson County Jail, according to a bureau news release.

Suspicion about Brock, who is now the former chief clerk of the Buchanan Police Department, arose when Haralson County District Attorney Jack Browning asked the bureau to investigate allegations of missing citation money from the police department.

That investigation led officials to the bookkeeper herself, Brock. According to records from the Haralson County Sheriff’s Office she was released on a $3,000 bond. 

USA TODAY could not immediately find Brock's case in court records nor track down an attorney for her on Monday.

Investigation is ongoing

The investigation is still ongoing, and the bureau says that once it's complete, the case file will be transferred to the Haralson County District Attorney’s Office for further prosecution. 

Officials ask anyone with any tips or information related to the case to reach out to the bureau by calling 1-800-597-TIPS (8477), online at https://gbi.georgia.gov/submit-tips-online, or by downloading the See Something, Send Something mobile app.
