(Sept. 28, 2017) Former Snow Hill Account Clerk Erica Holland, 32, was indicted by a Worcester County Grand Jury for felony theft over $100,000 on Tuesday.
The case, which was referred to the Maryland Office of the State Prosecutor by the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office, is being handled by State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, Davitt’s office alleges Holland stole about $169,000 from the town between Aug. 2014 and April 2017.
On April 25, police escorted Holland from Town Hall in Snow Hill, at which point she was relieved of her position.
In the press release, Davitt said although charged, Holland is presumed innocent unless and until there is a conviction.
“Town employees who handle public money hold a position of trust and violation of that trust is intolerable,” he said.
Mayor Charlie Dorman said the last five months, during the investigation, had been a “long, hard process.”
“I’m glad charges have been filed and we can come to a resolution,” he said. “We are not going to comment any further until we go to trial.”
