A former Curry County probation officer has been arrested for stealing money.
Christopher Lopez is charged with embezzlement and paying or receiving public money for services not rendered.
Authorities say Lopez would ask people to make money orders and checks out to him when they would come in to pay their fines.
Lopez would then allegedly cash the money orders and checks.
The incidents allegedly occurred between 2011 and 2014.
Lopez resigned from his position last year.
