Barbara Dunn, 41, who had come under fire for alleged abuse of power and conflict of interest because she headed the Putnam County Humane Society at the same time she investigated animal abuse cases for the Sheriff’s Office, was charged in a 28-count indictment that was unsealed in the Putnam County Courthouse.
Dunn, a deputy for at least a dozen years, pleaded not guilty to all charges during a brief arraignment where she appeared before Westchester County Judge Jeffrey Cohen.
She is charged with the theft of $56,000 after prosecutors said she lied about falling down a flight of stairs at the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office when she was really injured after being thrown from a horse.
