The state is looking to recoup money lost when an employee of an Edinburgh golf course pleaded guilty to stealing from the facility. Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill announced Thursday that the state has filed a complaint in Johnson County seeking recovery of stolen public funds, as well as court costs, legal fees and other expenses.

Hill says that the state wants more than $11,000 from Ethan Duke, a former employee of Timbergate Golf Course who pleaded guilty to theft. Authorities say that Duke was sentenced to more than 500 days on home arrest after he confessed to stealing nearly $4,000 from the facility.

The Indiana Attorney’s General office says that in October of 2016, the State Board of Accounts conducted an audit of Timbergate, which is a public golf course owned by the town of Edinburgh. The audit revealed that the $4,000 went missing between April 18, 2015, and May 30, 2015.

According to the audit, employees at Timbergate discovered that on the night of May 30, 2015, no cash transactions were entered on the register. Further, the amount of money in the cash register came up $229.13 short based on goods and services sold by the golf course that day. Hill says that a supervisor confronted Duke, who reportedly confessed to the theft and was later arrested.

Hill says that the golf course recovered a little more than $300 when Duke was arrested. The state is now seeking a treble damages claim under the Crime Victims Relief Act. That equals three times the $3,683 in misappropriated funds, as well as $800 in audit costs.
