Former UNM Athletics Director Paul Krebs turned himself into authorities
Former University of New Mexico Athletics Director Paul Krebs turned himself into authorities at the Metropolitan Detention Center on Tuesday and was released immediately after booking.
Krebs was indicted last month on seven felony charges including embezzlement, money laundering, tampering with evidence and fraud. A judge ordered him to turn himself in by Oct. 2. Krebs is scheduled to appear in the 2nd Judicial District Court for a hearing on Sept. 26 of this year.
His two newest charges, issued in August, were two counts of embezzlement for using nearly $25,000 of University money on a golf trip to Scotland in 2015 — one charge was to fund the trip itself and one for his personal charges incurred during the trip.
The initial five complaints came last February when Krebs was charged with money laundering, tampering with evidence, fraud amounting to $20,000, criminal solicitation and making or permitting a false public voucher. If he is found guilty, Krebs faces up to 16 and a half years in prison.
