OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Federal prosecutors have charged a former Johnson County District Court employee with embezzling more than $1 million. KSHB-TV reports Dawna Kellogg was charged last week with eight counts of wire fraud and three counts of making a false federal tax return. The alleged crimes occurred between January 2007 and June 2017. Prosecutors allege Kellogg stole cash meant for the court’s bank account and diverted them to her personal accounts. They also allege Kellogg did not report the stolen funds as taxable income in three years.
