GRANGER, Wyo. (AP) — The mayor of a Wyoming town is accused of using town money to make over $1,300 in personal purchases.

Sweetwater County sheriff's officials say the purchases include replacement parts for a furnace at a rental property in New York, tires for a personal vehicle and fuel.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports deputies arrested Granger Mayor Bradly McCollum on Thursday on suspicion of felony theft and wrongful appropriation of public property.

McCollum remained jailed and couldn’t be reached Friday.

Court officials said McCollum had no attorney on file yet who could comment on his behalf.

Granger is a town of 130 people in Sweetwater County.
