Green River fire chief and wife accused of embezzlement

Posted

ROCK SPRINGS (WNE) — A joint preliminary hearing for a Green River couple alleged to have embezzled from the Green River Fire Department’s foundation fund has been pushed back to April 8.

Green River Fire Department Chief Michael Nomis, 50, and his wife, Stephanie Nomis, 46, were arrested March 2 by Sweetwater County Sheriff’s deputies, assisted by special agents from the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. Michael Nomis is charged with felony theft and wrongful appropriation of public property. Stephanie Nomis is charged with felony theft.

In November, detectives with the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office served search warrants to obtain bank records associated with the foundation. According to court documents, a review of financial records from August 2016 through January 2020 revealed at least $125,000 from three foundation accounts and a social fund that was either missing and now accounted for through the course of the investigation, or still unaccounted for and under investigation.
