Red Cross Volunteer Who Used Credit Cards Intended For Disaster Victims Facing New Charge After Not Reporting To Prison

  • Friday, July 31, 2015

A Red Cross volunteer who earlier pleaded guilty to using credit cards intended for disaster victims is facing new federal charges after not reporting to federal prison.

Kimberly A. Queen had been sentenced to serve two years, but she did not self-report on June 19 as ordered by Judge Curtis Collier.

The new charge is failure to appear.

Ms. Queen has since been taken into custody and was ordered to be detained by Federal Magistrate Susan K. Lee.

She was a volunteer for the Monroe County Red Cross Chapter in early 2012 when an audit turned up several irregularities.

Ms. Queen confessed to withdrawing funds from local ATMs in Monroe and McMinn counties in the name of the Red Cross.

Ms. Queen had been ordered to submit a money order to the federal government for $28,275 to cover the losses.
