GLASGOW, Ky. (AP) — A federal grand jury in Glasgow has indicted a former office manager, accusing her of embezzling more than $200,000 from her employer.
The Glasgow Daily Times quoted U.S. Attorney David Huber in reporting Michelle Simmons was indicted on one count of wire fraud.
Simmons is accused of stealing the money by writing checks to herself and by diverting an electronic funds transfer from a company credit card to her account.
Authorities said she was in charge of payroll for Blealand Campbellsville Inc.
