Ms Risden is facing several Felonies charges including opening over 6 credit cards in the Assocations name with out the Boards knowing, and charged another
$8000.00 in items for her self and her daughters home, to make matters worse she purchase an new Car with Fraud W/2s, what was the reason when asked...Because her other Car was repossed.

She hired her Daughter a Ms.Bridget Massey to act as the accouant to hide the the spendutres and had the credit card statements sent to her P.O Box so the assocation would not Know the Card excessed, since this happen Ms Risden has fled to Nothern Florida where is belived to be hiding.
