LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 20-year-old University of Nebraska-Lincoln student is accused of taking nearly $9,000 from the fraternity for which he served as treasurer.

Dakota Grimm was charged Thursday.

Prosecutors say Grimm has worked as treasurer for the Theta Chi fraternity since March 2014. UNL police say that during that time, Grimm wrote 29 checks totaling $8,941 and took the money.

Assistant Chief Todd Duncan says members of the fraternity discovered the theft and reported it to UNL police Tuesday night.

Grimm, a sophomore, is charged with felony theft. Grimm has been released on $2,500 bond.

A telephone listing for Grimm could not be found Saturday. The Lancaster County Public Defender’s Office, which is representing him, could not be reached for comment Saturday.
