OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A worker at Tinker Air Force Base has been charged with embezzling more than $20,000 from the sale of scrap metal through a recycling program at the Oklahoma City base.
Forty-6-year-old Paul David Taylor of Del City was charged Wednesday in federal court with conspiracy and three counts of theft of public money. If convicted of all counts, he faces up to 35 years in prison.
Federal prosecutors allege Taylor kept the cash from the sale of scrap metal to Interstate Metals Company through the base's Qualified Recycling Program, for which he worked.
A telephone message left Thursday with Taylor's attorney was not immediately returned.
