Rohnert Park man accused of embezzling transportation district funds

A 34-year-old Rohnert Park resident was arrested Thursday on suspicion of embezzling more than $98,000 from the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District, San Rafael police officials reported.

Jason Brewer, a buyer for the district's San Rafael bus division, was booked into Marin County Jail on multiple related charges, Sgt. Jim Correa said.

Brewer is accused of using district credit cards to buy items at local businesses for his personal use, Correa said.

He was released from jail after posting bail, jail officials confirmed.
