Former tribal housing official denies charge

A former director of the Eastern Shoshone Housing Authority has entered a not-guilty plea to an indictment charging that she converted federal money to her own use. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Cheyenne announced that Joanne Lynn Seesequasis was arraigned in federal court on Monday. She pleaded not guilty to the indictment charging her with conversion of money from an Indian tribal organization. The indictment filed this March charges that Seesequasis unlawfully claimed more than $45,000 in overtime pay between March 2009 and March 2010, while she was executive director of the housing authority. Seesequasis is set to stand trial before U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal in August.
