Former Director of Central Alabama Aging Consortium Arrested

Attorney General Luther Strange announced the arrest yesterday of Catherine Stansell Rolison, a former director of the Central Alabama Aging Consortium in Montgomery, for felony theft and ethics charges.

Rolison, 62, now a resident of Clayton, North Carolina, surrendered at the Montgomery County Detention Facility and was released on $10,000 bond.

Attorney General Strange’s Special Prosecutions Division presented evidence to a Montgomery County grand jury, resulting in Rolison’s indictment, on December 9, 2016.  Specifically, the indictment charges Rolison with first-degree theft of more than $2,500 by purchasing tangible goods with the Consortium’s credit card accounts and/or currency, and with intentionally using her public position for personal gain of tangible goods purchased with the Consortium’s credit card accounts and/or currency.

No further information about the investigation or about Rolison’s alleged crimes other than that stated in the indictment may be released at this time.

If convicted, Rolison faces a maximum penalty of two to 20 years for each of the charges, which are class B felonies.

Attorney General Strange commended Assistant Attorney General Kyle Beckman and Special Agents of his Special Prosecutions Division, and thanked Special Agents of the Alabama Ethics Commission.
