Former town of Bergen clerk pleads not guilty to taking over $200,000 from town & charity
WAUSAU − A former Marathon County town of Bergen clerk pleaded not guilty May 12 to embezzling more than $200,000 from the town and a local charity. Gloriann Doyle, 65, of Mosinee, pleaded not guilty to a charge of theft of more than $100,000, eight counts of forgery, one count of misconduct in office and one count of theft of more than $10,000 in a business setting. Doyle continues to be held in the Marathon County Jail pending a $50,000 cash bail previously set. Doyle's next court date is scheduled for May 21. According to the criminal complaint, in January, Bergen Chairman Edwin Rucinski contacted the Marathon County Sheriff's Office and reported finding suspicious activity in the town's accounts and that he suspected Doyle was stealing from the town. The Bergen Town Board had appointed Doyle town clerk on July 1. Her salary was $6,000 a year. Rucinksi said Doyle's husband notified him that Doyle had written an unauthorized check for $1,000, according to the complaint. The town has a policy that any check for more than $500 had to be authorized by the board. Doyle admitted to writing the check, which she said was for a computer repair.

In all, officials alleged in the complaint they found 10 unauthorized checks, all written to Doyle. Most of the checks bore Rucinski's signature, but he told an investigator he didn't sign any of them. Rucinski believed the town was missing a total of $114,675.94. An investigator interviewed Doyle and asked her what she did with the money. Doyle said it went to pay personal bills, according to the complaint. She said, at one point, she was months behind on her mortgage Doyle said she also had taken about $11,000 from the Wisconsin Valley Art Association, a nonprofit organization that brings arts to the central Wisconsin area, including Art in the Park in Wausau each year. Doyle said the Bergen checks she wrote to the Wisconsin Valley Art association were meant to cover the money she took, according to the complaint. The investigator contacted Wisconsin Valley Art Association and asked them to do an audit. The total amount missing from the organization was $103,505.44, according to the complaint.
