Ex-treasurer charged, arrested

By on September 12, 2007

A former Xi Delta treasurer charged approximately $8,000 on her sorority’s bank card two years ago, according to Athens-Clarke County police reports. She was arrested Monday.

Angela Maria Holter, 25, was charged with 10 felony counts of financial transaction card fraud when she turned herself in at the Clarke County Sheriff’s Office on a warrant.

Christy Strickland, former president of Xi Delta, informed police that Holter made several unauthorized purchases between August 2003 and December 2005, according to the ACC police report.

Strickland turned over 18 pages of Bank of America charge statements with the unauthorized payments highlighted in yellow. The charges totalled $7,700.

Members declined to address Holter’s arrest or preventive measures against future occurrences during their recruitment meeting in the Student Learning Center Tuesday night.

“We have nothing to comment about it at this time,” said Ashley Brendel, the chapter president. “We don’t want to print anything about it.”

Neither Holter nor Strickland returned phone calls made on Tuesday night.

Holter graduated from the University in 2006 with a degree in marketing.
