TOWSON, Md.–The former CEO of a credit union here, along with her husband, who is a former Baltimore County police sergeant, have been charged with stealing more than $100,000 from a local CU.
Tina M. Galloway, 44, the former manager of HealthCare United Federal Credit Union, which serves employees of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center and Sheppard Pratt Hospital, has been charged with theft, as has her husband, Sgt. Daniel Gregory Galloway. According to the Baltimore Sun, Galloway, an 18-year veteran of the department, has been suspended without pay following the charges.
The Sun quoted Assistant State's Attorney Adam Lippe as saying the charges against the Fallston couple came after "a very complicated six-month investigation."
The Sun reported that the credit union originally contacted the county state's attorney's office in March about possible fraud.
According to investigators, Tina Galloway falsified records and issued checks to herself that were supposed to be for bank expenses. Detectives told the Sun they believe Daniel Galloway knew of some of his wife's activities and conspired to defraud the credit union. They also say they discovered discrepancies in credit union loans to the Galloways.
"The amount of money involved remains under investigation, but police believe the amount is substantial," police said in a statement, the Sun reported.
