DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - A former treasurer for a Dubuque police unit has pleaded not guilty to theft in connection to missing funds from the volunteer organization.

The Telegraph Herald reports (https://bit.ly/TUSZCg ) 26-year-old Allen R. Berger entered his plea Tuesday on a charge of second-degree theft. Court records do not list an attorney.

Berger is accused of taking funds from the bank account of the Dubuque Auxiliary Police unit and transferring them into a personal account. Police believe Berger misappropriated nearly $4,000 between April 2012 and February 2014.



The unit assists the police department with duties on short notice.
