A former Breckenridge police officer is accused in federal court of hiding her ownership of a $32,700 Jeep Grand Cherokee during her bankruptcy proceedings.
A grand jury indicted Corrine M. Purucker, 43, now a police officer in Washington state, in Colorado U.S. District Court on Wednesday.
Purucker allegedly had her roommate buy the new vehicle for her in November 2001, weeks before she filed for bankruptcy. After the bankruptcy proceedings finished and Purucker’s debts of about $64,000 were discharged, she titled the vehicle in her own name, according to the FBI and the Colorado U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Federal authorities seized the Jeep in Washington state in June.
