Embezzlement suspect, accused of stealing $300,000-plus from Denton Good Sam, arrested in Colorado

A woman accused of embezzling more than $300,000 from a retirement home in Denton awaits possible extradition from a Colorado jail cell, according to authorities.

Police in Aurora, Colorado, arrested 44-year-old Lisa Rene McMaster on Jan. 23 on a Denton County warrant for theft of more than $300,000 from a nonprofit, said Julie Brooks, a spokeswoman for the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. McMaster, a former Aubrey resident, has been locked up in Arapahoe County Jail without bail.

Brooks said she did not know specifically where McMaster was arrested in Colorado.

A Denton County grand jury indicted McMaster on the charge in December after she initially was accused of stealing close to $400,000 from Good Samaritan Society-Denton Village, where she worked as an office manager during a four-year period. It's unclear when she moved to Colorado.
