MACCLENNY, Fla. — Financial irregularities discovered within the Baker County Chamber of Commerce have resulted in the arrest of its former executive director, authorities said.
Darryl Register, 62, is facing charges of fraud and grand theft after investigators determined he manipulated the organization’s financial records for approximately 13 years.
According to the Baker County Sheriff’s Office, Register admitted to withdrawing $63,000 in 2012 for personal use. Investigators said the funds were returned in the summer of 2025, shortly before Register resigned from his position.
Despite the repayment, authorities noted that the chamber’s account balance remained at approximately $405 for much of the period between 2012 and 2025, raising concerns about long-term financial mismanagement.
The investigation remains ongoing as officials continue to review the chamber’s financial records.
