I hope that Inyo County starts punishing some of these embezzlers. Let’s make them pay for taking something that is not theirs…Ugh, just frustrates me! I can’t imagine being the owner of the body shop (Tib), trusting his employee and his “friend”. I hope her husband makes this as right as he can, and sell that huge house they bought and PAY THE MAN BACK!
In China she would get the Death Penalty ☺
If she’s like the OTHER embezzlers, she probably dumped a good portion of the 300K into the slots at the Paiute Casino…
Im with Rick…. Anyone want to fess up?… Is she a usual customer of the casino? I go there once every few months for lunch, and I see the same tombstones sitting at the same machines…. sad situation.
Good luck obtaining evidence. The tribe will claim sovereignty and tell the local LEOs to stuff it (but come back and gamble after your shift is over).
I guess the question is, did she spend all that money or stash it away? If the house had $300,000 worth of new stuff, then the hubby should have at least suspected something funny was going on. If she stashed it away, maybe thinking she would ditch the ol’ man when she had enough “saved”, take the money and run (due credits to the Steve Miller Band), I reckon someone could hide that kind of money from an unsuspecting husband. I have to imagine she didn’t put it in a bank because that would have generated an IRS notification. In a lot of households the wife holds the purse strings and a wise husband maybe doesn’t challenge that. Just saying …………..
Are you telling me that her husband had no idea where all this extra money was coming from? I was born @ night but not last night. The citizens of Inyo county deserve some serious answers.
Isnt this the same woman that stole money from the school system years ago… Now caught stealing money from her long term employer… AND isnt her husband a high ranking officer with the Inyo County Sheriffs? This all seems strange.
A little too much sweeping under the mat around here!
Yes, it is the same woman. Her husband is rumored to be turning in his retirement paperwork. He is with the department but he is no longer high ranking. I just hope everything is going well for the people she took from. I hope they can move on and their business can striver. Over 300K is insanity.
Yup! Get him retired before he has to answer to he Inyo Grand Jury and cause grief for the Sheriff. I am betting it is the tip of the iceberg.
Glad to see the next step in the legal process begin. I am curious to see if she takes a plea deal or fights this in court. A lot comes in to play here with her husband in law enforcement. I hope Inyo Mono Body shop has been able to pull out of the mess she left them in; so sad.
Hmmm! Why isn’t husband charged like the other case? Is it because he is a inyo county sheriff?
Maybe he thought she got a 300K raise.
“Hmmm….this is interesting honey, but when I checked the bank balance, it would appear your raise was more than we thought….”
I mean, you know Mr. Marsh wasn’t trained as some kind of cop who investigates or anything. So, ya, seems legit to me!
I’m certain the husband enjoyed the fruits of her labor or her husband was a complete fool.
Visit the beautiful Eastern Sierra, known for it’s world class fishing, it’s breath-taking scenery, awesome skiing (when there’s snow) and the #1 destination for up and coming embezzlers.
How many similar cases have there been in recent years? I could be wrong but seems a majority of the ACCUSED have been women.
Benett Kessler often reminded me that people are ACCUSED until proven guilty : )
whats your point?
