Former Volunteer Fire Chief Sentenced to 8Y Prison for Embezzlement

 

David Roy MacBean, 42, was sentenced today to eight years in prison, plus five years of parole, for stealing over $600,000 from the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District during the time that he served as their volunteer Fire Chief.

 

Between January 2010 and March 2013 Mr. MacBean madeunauthorized purchases in the amount of $647,351 using the Fire Protection District’s credit card and bank accounts. Mr. MacBean made numerous purchases through PayPal, Amazon.com, at Big R and at various other retail merchants for his personal use. In their sentencing argument, prosecutors outlined Mr. MacBean’s spending history, including as an example that in July, 2012, he spent over $42,000 shopping online for musical equipment, electronics, wireless products, PCs and other items.  

 

As volunteer Fire Chief, David MacBean was responsible for theoverall supervision of operations for the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District, subject to the direction of the board of directors.  This included the operation of the fire department, hiring and managing of staff and assisting in preparing the annual budget.

 

In an overflowing courtroom, David MacBean told District Judge Jeffrey Pilkington that he took complete responsibility for his actions and that he had betrayed the fire fighters and the entire department, their families, the community, his family and friends.

 

In April, 2014, David MacBean pled guilty to two counts of Theft - $20,000 or more (F3) and one count of Embezzlement (F5).  Judge Pilkington sentenced David MacBean to eight years in prison on each Theft count, to be served concurrent to one another, and two years in prison on the Embezzlement count. The two year sentence will be served consecutively to the six year sentence for a total of eight years.  He will also have a five yearmandatory parole period.

 

MacBean agreed to pay restitution in the amount of $647,351.59 as part of his plea agreement.

Potential for heavy rain on Tuesday and Wednesday with risk of flooding

Jefferson County Emergency Management is working with the National Weather Service. They are indicating the possibility exists tomorrow into Wednesday for very heavy rain in the ICFPD area. Here are some of the details from the NWS:

1. The air moisture will be in the 99th percentile tomorrow into Wednesday meaning there is ample moisture in the atmosphere.

2. We will experience upslope flow. We all know upslope means heavy snow in the winter and this time of year it triggers heavy rain.

3. Most areas in Jefferson County can anticipate at least 1 - 2 inches of rainfall starting late tomorrow morning or early afternoon and lasting 30 to 36 > hours.

4. Isolated storms will be capable of producing rainfall rates of 2-3 inches per hour for a period of one or two hours.

Have you prepared for potential flooding?  Are you ready to evacuate if needed?
