State officials arrested the former director of a horse association on a complaint of embezzlement by an employee. George Ronald Canady, 55, was arrested today and booked into the Oklahoma County jail, authorities said. He is the former executive director of the Oklahoma Horseman's Benevolent Protective Association, also known as the Thoroughbred Racing Association of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma County district attorney's office requested law enforcement assistance last year after an audit by the association showed more than $200,000 missing, according to a news release.
