MONTROSE, Calif. – Glendale Area Schools FCU will push ahead with its civil check-fraud charges against a well-known public figure, even though she has paid back more than $21,000 they alleged she stole. Stephanie Mines, a director of the Glendale Educational Foundation and former president of the Chamber of Commerce, announced the restitution Tuesday of $21,323 in a public statement, but the credit union said it plans to proceed with the civil charges to recoup almost $2,000 in legal fees and costs, and to file criminal fraud charges against Mines. Credit union officials said Mines engineered a kiting scheme between her credit union account and Citibank, and bounced $21,323 worth of checks.
