Because she was angry, the former general manager of the Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center misappropriated more than $31,000, including buying clothing and airfare at taxpayers’ expense for a personal trip to Europe.
Tennessee Comptroller’s Office officials said Alyce Faith Heifner told state investigators she took the money because she was angry at the Public Building Authority Board “for not supporting her, and because she was angry at the Coffee County community for the way she was treated,” officials stated in the report released Friday.
Now Heifner faces one count of theft over $10,000 and two counts of official misconduct on indictments handed down in December by the Coffee County grand jury, according to investigators from the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury.
