A Wetumpka man was arrested on charges of embezzling funds from the state VFW, after the national headquarters noticed “financial irregularities” at posts which he oversaw in his position at the state level of the organization.

A spokesperson with Veterans of Foreign Wars, said Johnny Lee Waller, 45, was currently under investigation for theft of funds from Huntsville post 2702, and law enforcement from about three different agencies were looking into other posts that might have been affected throughout the state.
