Henderson Woman Wanted for Allegedly Embezzling More than a Half-Million Dollars
Earlier this month, Henderson police announced that a woman who’s been accused of embezzling over a half-million dollars over a three year period may be hiding out in Mexico. She’s facing more than thirty counts of theft, conspiracy to commit a crime and violating Nevada possession of stolen property law. Police started looking into this matter when they were informed that money was being transferred from a business account into her personal bank account.
After the suspect was informed about the transfer, she disappeared. Police say the money was deposited into various account via paychecks with different names. Read more about this story at http://www.fox5vegas.com/news/22799132/detail.html.
Nevada possession of stolen property law makes it a criminal offense to intentionally possess property that you should know is stolen. When the property is less than $250 in value, it’s a misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and/or up to a $1,000 fine. If the property is $250 to $2,500 in value, it’s a category C felony carrying a one to five year prison sentence and potentially a $10,000 fine. And if the property is $2,500 or more in value, it’s brought as a category B felony with one to ten years in prison and a possible fine of $10,000. Furthermore, anyone convicted of breaking Nevada possession of stolen property law will be mandated to pay restitution.
