Search tags on additional drug and gun charges for Elgin couple
A local woman faces three felony forgery charges and additional counts involving stolen firearms and drugs after an investigation into missing funds from school-related organizations, police said.
Sara Collins was arrested Wednesday, Feb. 18, on three third-degree felony counts of forgery of a financial instrument. The charges are tied to "discrepancies" in the Elgin Independent School District Wildcat Booster Club and Project Celebration accounts, according to the Elgin Police Department.
Police said a report filed Feb. 2 prompted the investigation. Based on evidence discovered, officers executed arrest and search warrants at Collins' home on Pleasant Grove Road in Elgin, assisted by the Travis County Special Weapons and Tactics Team.
The search led to additional charges against the suspect and her husband, Marcus Collins, including possession of stolen firearms and possession of a controlled substance.
Both Sara and Marcus were booked and remain in the Bastrop County Jail.
Each felony forgery warrant carries a $50,000 bond.
Police are urging anyone with information regarding this incident to contact detective Dylan Judd at 737-233-4855 or [email protected].
