Andy11M sends us the sad tale of one Michael McKinnis, former commander of American Legion Post 744 and accused of larceny.<\/p>\n

Former commander of local American Legion post accused of stealing nearly $100,000<\/h3>\n

by Luke Jones, WKRC<\/strong><\/p>\n

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – A man is wanted for allegedly stealing $98,000 from a local American Legion post.<\/p>\n

Michael McKinnis faces theft, misuse of credit cards, and forgery charges. He was indicted Friday and there is a warrant for his arrest.<\/p>\n

McKinnis served as commander and finance officer for the post that serves Hyde Park and Mt. Lookout.<\/p>\n

From May 2019 to September 2022, he’s accused of spending money from bar sales and donations for a capital improvement campaign on Notre Dame football games, Coney Island season passes, subscription services, and other personal expenses.<\/p>\n

He’s also accused of forging a bank statement as part of the alleged theft.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any wagers on the possible presence of, ahh, anomalies on Mr. Mckinnis’ DD-214? Rancid cherry and all that. Thanks, Andy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
