ROCKFORD — Former Dixon Comptroller Rita A. Crundwell pleaded not guilty in federal court this morning.
She
is charged with one count of wire fraud, part of what prosecutors say
was a misappropriation of $53 million of city funds over more than two
decades.
The federal government also has filed a civil suit to take possession of
Crundwell’s more than 300 horses in an effort to recoup some of Dixon’s
lost funds. A status hearing on both the criminal and civil cases was
set for 11 a.m. June 15.
