ROCK SPRINGS (WNE) — Granger Mayor Bradly McCollum was arrested by Sweetwater County sheriff’s deputies Thursday afternoon on a warrant for charges of felony theft totaling $1,000 or more and a misdemeanor count of miswrongful appropriation of public property.
McCollum, 55, was elected mayor in 2018. He’s alleged to have used one of the town’s bank cards for at least four separate personal purchases totaling over $1,300 during a six-month period in late 2019.
According to court documents, the purchases included tires for a personally-owned vehicle, fuel, and replacement parts for a furnace at McCollum’s rental property in New York state.
The months-long investigation by sheriff’s detectives included several search warrants examining McCollum’s personal banking records and cross-referencing them with the town’s official financial statements, according to a press release.
Granger is located northwest of Green River, with an estimated population of 128 residents as of last year.
