Former Milam County Jail Capt. Katrina Douglas was free on bond Monday after she was arrested and charged in connection with the theft of thousands of dollars from the trust fund in which money may be deposited for inmates to use to make commissary purchases.

Douglas was arrested on Dec. 21 in Bell County following an investigation by the Texas Rangers.

She’s charged with theft over $30,000, but under $150,000.

She was released on Christmas Eve after posting a $50,000 bond.

The charge against Douglas, who resigned in January, stems from the theft of about $36,000 from the Milam County Jail’s inmate trust fund, Milam County Sheriff David E. Greene said Tuesday.

“We didn’t find out this money was missing until she was gone,” he said.

“I’m very disappointed, very disappointed, but glad we’ve come to a conclusion of what happened, and looking forward to going to court and getting it resolved,” he said.
