ACHILLE, OK - The mayor of Achille, Oklahoma, was arrested Wednesday afternoon at the municipal building in Achille. 49-year-old Lynn Chambers was taken into custody by Choctaw Tribal Police, accused of felony embezzlement according to an affidavit from the Bryan County District Attorney's Office.
Chambers is a contractor who worked on home improvements. One of his clients used a grant from the Choctaw Housing Authority. Authorities say Chambers would pay for construction materials with money from the housing authority, but wouldn't use the entire amount.
Instead, the affidavit states, Chambers would use the remainder of the money to buy gift cards. In all, the mayor is accused of taking more than $2,900 intended for home improvements.
Chambers was booked into the Bryan County Jail on the felony charge.
