The former chief of the Fallston Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Company has been indicted on five felony theft charges for allegedly stealing thousands from the department.

Daniel McKinney, 37, was arrested Wednesday and faces five felony theft charges ranging from theft of $1,500, to $100,000 as well as one misdemeanor embezzlement charge, according to court documents.

The documents indicate that after his arrest, McKinney posted an unsecured bond of $25,000.

According to an emailed statement from fire company president Christopher Gibbons, the Board of Directors “discovered some irregular purchases on an issued company credit card” and an investigation revealed “possible criminal activity.” The company turned over evidence to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office detectives who then turned over their findings to the Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office.

The statement said McKinney is no longer a member of Fallston Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Co. Inc., as he “was separated from membership” on Feb. 2.
