A former Thomas More Prep-Marian employee has been arrested on a requested charge of theft from the school.
Joseph Arnold Roth, 31, of Hays, was arrested on Feb. 25 for allegedly transferring $19,153 from a TMP account into his personal account on or about Feb. 5, according to court records.
The crime is listed in court records as a level 9 nonperson felony.
Roths was released on a $2,500 bond. He entered a not guilty plea on March 10.
Roth is set for a first appearance in Ellis County District court in front of Judge Richard Flax at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 8.
The Hays Post contacted TMP Principal Chad Meitner, and he said the school had no comment on the case at this time.
