Police are saying that a librarian in Parry Sound was as adept at using a credit card as a library card.

Back on November 16, 2012 members of the West Parry Sound OPP were told that a possible fraud was occurring at the Parry Sound Library.

Investigation revealed that an employee at the time had been fraudulently using a corporate credit card for personal purchases in excess of $41,000.

He was given a court date, which he failed to attend. A Canada Wide Warrant was then issued for his arrest.

On Tuesday, the RCMP arrested Richard Sulkers in Surrey British Columbia. Police travelled to Surrey and returned the former CEO to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Parry Sound to answer to his charges.

Sulkers, 48 years of age, and former Chief Executive Officer from Parry Sound was arrested and charged with:

  • Criminal Breach of Trust.
  • Fraud over $5,000 two counts.
  • Theft over $5,000.
  • Fraud under $5,000 two counts.
  • Theft under $5,000 four counts.
  • Possession of property obtained by crime.
  • Uttering Forged Documents.
