DUBUQUE — A former Clarke University employee has been accused of stealing more than $300,000 from the school in a book vendor scheme.
James Spaulding, a former bookstore manager at the eastern Iowa school, faces one count of mail fraud and two counts of filing a false tax return. A message left with his attorney was not immediately returned Wednesday.
Authorities say Spaulding submitted invoices to buy books from a company he established in 2011 with a friend.
He is accused of issuing checks for several invoices between 2011 and 2012.
