Mount Royal University’s former student union president Meghan Darcy Melnyk was arrested Wednesday for the robbery of a Calgary Servus Credit Union.
Police located her SUV by helicopter and took her into custody shortly after she left the bank. Authorities said that she was charged with outstanding arrest warrants for fraud, forgery, and breaching her probation.
Last January, Melnyk resigned as Mount Royal Student Association’s president following a periodic review that revealed some “anomalies.”
“We don’t know the cause of her actions … but we hope that she finds the support and the help that she needs,” said former colleague Michelle Dennis, the student union’s VP External.
