State Police are investigating a grand larceny case involving the alleged misappropriation of funds from the Corning-Painted Post Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) Local Union.
State Police in Painted Post received a larceny complaint from the Calvin U. Smith Parent Teacher Association. An investigation determined Kari Warner, of Painted Post, acted as the treasurer for the Calvin U. Smith PTA and the Corning-Painted Post CSEA Union 8710. It is alleged that from August 2024 to January 2025, she stole a cumulative amount of over $45,000.
This week, Warner was arrested on a felony charge of Grand Larceny.
Warner was transported to Steuben County Jail for CAP arraignment and was released to appear in the town of Erwin Court on a later date.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
