A 20-year-old University of Nebraska-Lincoln student is accused of taking nearly $9,000 from his fraternity over the past year, prosecutors said Thursday.
Dakota C. Grimm, 880 N. 17th St., Apt. 316, has worked as treasurer for the Theta Chi fraternity since March last year, UNL Police Officer Koan Nissen said. During that time, police allege in an affidavit, he wrote 29 checks totaling $8,941 and took the money.
Members of Theta Chi discovered the theft and reported it to UNL police Tuesday night, Asst. Chief Todd Duncan said.
Prosecutors charged Grimm, a sophomore, with felony theft Thursday. Lancaster County Judge James Foster set his bond at $2,500. Grimm was out of jail by Friday morning, records show.
