The mayor of Orem is under investigation after a city employee discovered irregularities in documents he used to make unauthorized withdrawals from his city retirement account.
Those irregularities include changing dates on forms, submitting the same signed forms for multiple reimbursement requests and for requesting reimbursements more often than is allowed, according to a statement from the Orem City Council.
Mayor Richard Brunst, who was first elected in 2013, told The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday evening that he was sorry for what he did, and he does not believe it will affect his ability to do his job.
