FORMER BLINN/BRYAN CAMPUS PRESIDENT INDICTED

  

The former head of the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley has been indicted by a Brazos County district court grand jury.

Sylvia McMullen, the former president of the Blinn College Brazos Valley campus, has been indicted on credit card abuse charges.

McMullen was booked into the Brazos County jail on Tuesday and was released after posting $10,000 dollars in bonds.

McMullen is accused of making transactions on a card that was not issued to her, and without the Arts Council’s consent, last December.

In January, McMullen said she accidentally used council credit card for about $700 in purchases.  McMullen says she notified the arts council board president and treasurer and gave them a check to cover the charges.

Also in January, McMullen claims she offered her resignation, which was not accepted.  She was then fired a week later.

McMullen served as the Blinn Brazos Valley president from 2013 to 2016.
