Former Dixon treasurer's horses sell for $1.64M
DIXON, Ill. — An online auction brought in $1.64 million for 80 of the horses once owned by indicted former Dixon Treasurer Rita Crundwell.
Crundwell is accused of misappropriating more than $53 million from Dixon to help support a lavish lifestyle and her nationally renowned horse breeding operation. She's pleaded not guilty.
The U.S. Marshals Service set up the online auction, and the money brought in could ultimately go to help reimburse the northwestern Illinois city for its alleged losses.
