SUWANNEE COUNTY, Fla. – Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agents arrested an O’Brien woman and charged her with scheme to defraud.

Mary Kathryn Morgan, 39, of O’Brien, was arrested Thursday on one count of scheme to defraud, the FDLE said.

In July 2021, FDLE received a request from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) to investigate allegations that a CCSO deputy had stolen a large sum of money during the course of a traffic stop. That investigation resulted in the arrest of the deputy in question last year.

During the investigation, agents learned that the money the deputy stole had been obtained fraudulently before the traffic stop, the FDLE said.

A new investigation was opened by FDLE’s Gainesville Field Office based on the new revelations, and agents said they learned that Morgan obtained the money illegally through the dual presentment of a check.

The investigation showed that Morgan submitted the check, in the amount of $5,273, for deposit via online banking and then presented the check for deposit in person, receiving money for the check twice, the FDLE said.

Morgan was arrested and booked into the Suwannee County Jail on $5,000 bond.
