Published: February 18, 2009
Deputies in Pamlico County say the president of the county Chamber of Commerce was engaging in some risky business.
They arrested 36-year-old David Kitchen Tuesday on embezzlement charges.
Investigators say Kitchen used more than $6,000 of the chamber’s cash and checks to pay his own bills.
They say it all came to light after the chamber’s treasurer got suspicious and conducted an internal audit.
Kitchen has been removed as president of the chamber.
He also owns the Celebrity Fitness in Bayboro.
