MIAMI -- A suspended Davie, Fla., administrator suspected of stealing more than $360,000 in town funds has turned himself in to the state attorney's office, Local 10 has learned.

Christopher John Kovanes was wanted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on one count of money laundering, grand theft and organized fraud.

Kovanes, 34, was suspended with pay as Davie's town administrator Oct. 18, around the time FDLE officials began investigating him on allegations of misappropriation of funds.

Kovanes is accused of stealing $362,329 from Davie by depositing checks made payable to Geographic Environmental Origin Inc. into an account he allegedly opened at a Bank Atlantic branch Jan. 20, 2004. That account was opened with an initial deposit of $15,000 also made payable to GEO Inc. by the town, authorities said.

Kovanes is accused of depositing 20 town checks ranging from $4,600 to $55,890 into the bank account from January 2004 through October 2005.

Authorities said GEO Inc. lists Kovanes as the sole officer and registered agent, and said the business' address in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., does not exist.

Kovanes has also been under investigation by FDLE agents since October on allegations involving illegal pornography. That case is still ongoing.
