After Reina’s January arrest, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office issued a statement that said he “orchestrated a multi-year scheme” in which he “misappropriated approximately $1.33 million through unauthorized credit card charges, payments to personal credit card accounts, and 144 ACH transfers from Capital Public Radio’s bank account to his own account.”
Through a public records request, The Sacramento Bee obtained transaction information from Reina’s credit card spending.
The expenses in the credit card transaction data include travel to luxury resorts, high-priced consumer goods and improvements to Reina’s home in West Sacramento. The data starts in 2015 and concludes in 2022. It does not include any support documentation, such as receipts.

Reina, who made $253,080 a year as GM, left the station in 2023 just before CapRadio embarked on deep layoffs and programming cuts. He was arrested in January and released after posting bail.
Over the prosecutor’s objection, Judge David Bonilla in April allowed Reina, who has surrendered his passport, to take a trip with his family June 6 to June 12. Reina, 60, also received the judge’s permission to attend the Wednesday hearing via Zoom.
