Scott Walker appointee guilty of embezzling $51K in funds meant for veterans and their families

October 13, 2012

MILWAUKEE A Milwaukee County jury has convicted one of Governor Scott Walker's former associates of stealing money donated to help veterans and their families.

Jurors on Friday convicted 62-year-old Kevin Kavanaugh of Cudahy of stealing more than $51,000.

Prosecutors alleged that Kavanaugh had skimmed the money from bank deposits and phony withdrawals from accounts for the Military Order of the Purple Heart, a veterans service organization. Kavanaugh was the organization's treasurer.

Kavanaugh's sentencing is scheduled for December 19.
