The Clark County Sheriff’s Office arrested a former staff member of the Dollar’s Corner Moose Lodge for stealing more than $30,000 from the chapter, the sheriff’s office said.
On Dec. 1, sheriff’s deputies arrested James Patrick Seefried, 72, for first-degree theft, a release from the sheriff’s office stated. Seefried was once an employee at the Loyal Order of Moose Chapter 2423, based west of Battle Ground.
In June, executive staff for the lodge found discrepancies in internal accounts, the release stated. Staff reported their suspicions to the sheriff’s office and deputies began to investigate as they looked into the case alongside the national Order of the Moose organization and the Washington State Gambling Commission.
The theft of more than $30,000 represented a “significant loss” to the chapter. The case is still being investigated.
