The former director of the Southeast Berrien County Landfill Authority and an employee have been charged with a $249,000 fraudulent billing scheme.
Clyde David Fuller III, of Buchanan is charged with conducting a criminal enterprise and embezzlement of more than $100,000. Fuller was the authority director until he was terminated in July of 2017. Terry Eldon Snow of Eau Claire has been charged with aiding and abetting a criminal enterprise and embezzlement.
Berrien County prosecutors said that the Berrien County sheriff’s investigators determined that the authority made $249,000 worth of payments to a company called GT&S Enterprises between December 2016 and June 2017.
Public records indicate GT&S is linked to a woman called Goldie Snow, the mother of landfill employee Terry Snow, prosecutors said.
Police uncovered financial records showing transfers to bank accounts owned by Fuller and Snow that coincided with payments to GT&S.
Prosecutors indicated the landfill authority board was not aware of the relationship between GT&S and the two landfill employees.
