Lake Station Mayor Keith Soderquist ’s stepdaughter, charged with stealing from the city, is asking a federal judge for permission to travel to Chicago for work.
Miranda Brakley, who is also accused of lying in her bankruptcy case, says in her motion to travel that she was put on unpaid leave at her job at Omnicare in Griffith after she was charged in the case last month.
Brakley has obtained a job at St. Bernard’s Hospital, the motion says, but her travel is restricted to the Northern District of Indiana as part of her bond. She is asking that she be allowed to travel to Chicago for her job.
Brakley, a former court clerk for the city, is accused of stealing at least $5,000 from the city and then hiding $7,000 in income from her bankruptcy case. She has pleaded not guilty in the case.
Soderquist and his wife, Deborah Soderquist , are also charged in the case with being an accessory after the fact and with money structuring.
They are also charged in a second case with stealing money the mayor ’s election campaign and the city’s food pantry to pay for gambling trips. Both have also pleaded not guilty in the case.
