A former top aide to Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, accused of using a city-issued credit card for personal purchases, was arrested Tuesday.
Lisa Serna-Mayorga, the daughter of former Sacramento Mayor Joe Serna, was booked at the Sacramento County Jail on charges of misappropriation of public funds, grand theft of public funds, forgery and making or drawing worthless checks, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office in a news release.
Serna-Mayorga was taken into custody by Sacramento police officers.
Her bond was set at $50,000.
Serna-Mayorga, who resigned in July, allegedly used a Sacramento City credit card from July 2009 to June 2012 for personal items that totaled more than $19,000, according to a criminal complaint.
Some of the items Serna-Mayorga is accused of charging to the city credit card include Disneyland trips, hotels in Bodega Bay and Monterey, grocery bills, movies and iTunes games, according to court documents.
Serna-Mayorga had worked as the council operations manager before she was appointed to a position in the mayor?s office just weeks before the allegations surfaced.
The alleged credit card misuse was linked to her tenure as a council operations manager.
Serna-Mayorga's brother, Sacramento County Supervisor Phil Serna, said in a released statement: "I loved my sister before this incident, I love her now, and I will continue to do so as she deals with this."
In June, an internal audit found that Serna-Mayorga did not submit the required paperwork for documenting purchases.
