Viburnum for 14 years before losing her re-election bid last year after
accounting discrepancies were found.
Online records indicate she pleaded not guilty Monday.
State Auditor Nicole Galloway issued an audit earlier this month that said
Mayberry admitted to stealing at least $25,000 in city funds. She was accused of
adjusting customer utility accounts and then destroying records and other
evidence.
The town of about 670 residents is about 80 miles southwest of St. Louis.
Mayberry’s attorney, Jeremy Brauer, didn’t immediately return a call seeking
comment.
