A mobile home park manager was arrested by Pasco County deputies Thursday, accused of bilking the park owners out of more than $5,000 in rent.
Detectives say as part of her duties, Amanda Kaye Bourque, 35, collected rent money from tenants at River Haven Mobile Home & RV Park on Loury Drive in Wesley Chapel, but between January and April 25 of this year, she started pocketing some of the rent.
Dorothy Ann Porter, who used to own the park before she sold it to new owners who went into foreclosure, told investigators she was asked to manage the park for West Chase Law Firm. But in April, Porter started noticing that renters who had a history of paying on time appeared to be paying late so she inquired, learning that they had receipts from paying Bourque.
Porter told detectives she confronted Bourque and she admitted to taking the money, a report states.
On Thursday, Pasco detectives found Bourque at her new home at 6636 Mangrove Drive, Wesley Chapel, and arrested her on one count of scheme to defraud.
She told detectives she misappropriated tenant rent money for personal use, a report states.
She is being held at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $10,000.
