A Martin County commissioner is facing felony theft charges.
A criminal complaint says Commissioner Gerald Boler double-billed for reimbursements for attending seven conferences from March 2007 to April 2010.
Prosecutors say the total of all extra reimbursements is $1,167. The complaint says Boler attended the conferences for Three Rivers Resource Conservation and Development and billed both Martin County and the organization for reimbursement.
