ST. MARYS, Pa. —

 A financial adviser has been indicted on charges he stole more than $422,000 from an Elk County animal shelter and one of his private clients.

 

 

Online court records don't list an attorney for 47-year-old Richard Danz, of Matthews, N.C., who is jailed in that state awaiting extradition and a detention hearing on the charges unsealed Tuesday in federal court in Erie.

 

 

Federal prosecutors say Danz stole most of the money from the Elk County Humane Society in St. Marys, where he volunteered as accountant and treasurer from September 2008 until he left in June.

 

The rest of the money was allegedly stolen from one of his financial services clients and used to cover up some of the money missing from the Humane Society.

 

 

The 11-count indictment charges Danz with wire fraud and money laundering.
