A credit union employee alerted police that a Texas public official allegedly stole more than $35,000 to pay off a blackmailing dominatrix mistress.
Gregory Lueb, 56, a former Harris County first assistant treasurer was charged with felony theft last week, according to Harris County prosecutors in Houston. He appeared in court on Tuesday and did not enter a plea.

Lueb, a credit union member, opened a credit card account with HCFCU in September 2016.
