Overview
- Wallace emailed her immediate resignation to city officials late Monday, a week after publicly confessing to stealing from Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church where she worked as an administrator.
- In a letter to local media, she disclosed a Sept. 11 suicide attempt and an 18-day inpatient stay, and she pledged to repay every cent.
- She said she provided church officials with account numbers and passwords from the hospital to facilitate discovery of the theft.
- The El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office has opened an inquiry, and the church’s lawyer estimates the shortfall at roughly $300,000.
- Wallace urged Mayor Pro Tem Cody Bass to step down; Nevada prosecutors dropped an assault count and are pursuing misdemeanor trespassing and harassment, which he denies.
