Former Kankakee Valley Park District executive director Roy Collins pleaded ‘not guilty’ Wednesday to two federal charges accusing him of fraud while he served as director.

A December 6th trial date is set in U.S. District Court in Urbana.

Collins remains free on a $10,000 bond.
The Daily-Journal reports the charges date back to early 2012 when prosecutors allege unauthorized credit card purchases started until early 2016 when prosecutors say Collins started creating false documents to conceal the theft from the Kankakee Valley Park Foundation.

The indictment alleges Collins accessed park district equipment, labor and funds for his personal benefit.
