LINCOLN – During a closed-door session Tuesday on the performance and possible employment termination of an undisclosed employee, former Town Clerk Monique Clauson, who was arrested in December and subsequently placed on leave from her job, slipped out of the room and quietly exited Town Hall.
Clauson, who served as town clerk and municipal court clerk, was arrested in December on charges of misappropriating approximately $69,000 in town funds for her personal use between 2011 and 2020.
She was placed on leave after her arrest while State Police investigated the matter.
Prior to her departure from the building Tuesday, she and attorneys met with councilors for nearly an hour.
