A former agent of John Cruz is accused of stealing more than $20,000 in royalty money from the local musician.

An Oahu grand jury returned an indictment Thursday charging Leslie L.C. Truglio, 53, with first-degree theft and using a computer to commit the theft.

Deputy State Attorney General Michelle Puu told state Circuit Judge Colette Garibaldi that Truglio diverted money intended for Cruz’s business account into her personal bank account between June 2013 and August 2015. She asked Garibaldi to set bail at $20,000 because she believes Truglio is a flight risk since she has ties to New York and is employed by someone in New York City.

Garibaldi granted the request.
