Former St. Pete Salvation Army employee charged in embezzlement-related scheme

A former Salvation Army employee has been indicted for crimes that stem from the embezzlement of $239,000 when he worked in the payroll department for the nonprofit’s Suncoast Adult Rehabilitation Center in St. Petersburg.

Kenneth Fowler, whose age was not disclosed, was indicted March 29 for not filing taxes on the income generated from the embezzlement.

Fowler is facing up to nine years in prison, three years for each count of making and filing false federal tax returns.
