Ex-Cheyenne and Arapaho treasurer admits theft

Thursday, February 14, 2008  

Edward Dunn Whiteskunk, the former treasurer of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to embezzlement on Wednesday.

Whiteskunk admitted he accepted $6,000 in tribal funds. But instead of taking a trip on tribal business to Washington, D.C., he kept $5,919, federal prosecutors said.

Whiteskunk, 51, could face prison time and as much as $100,000 in restitution.
