Loris Woman Charged with Embezzlement
A Loris Woman has been charged by the Solicitor's Office in Conway with embezzling $150,000.00 from a Linen business. The woman was being investigated by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and the Loris Police Department. The woman will have court later this year. Embezzlement is a white collar crime. This means that the crime had not violence and was based on a financial gain. Embezzlement is the acquiring of assets (usually cash) through dishonesty while in a position of control over the assets. In this case it is not clear yet as to the position the defendant held at the company. It is obvious that the defendant had to have been in a position that allowed access to the financial resources of the company. These type of charges will usually require restitution for the amount that is alleged to have been embezzled.
One key piece of evidence will be the defendant's financial status and records. Did the defendant have bank deposits that do not match the income level of the defendant? Law enforcement will seek to build the case on a paper trail of information. It is unclear as to what Myrtle Beach Criminal Defense Attorney will be representing the defendant. One of the first things that should be considered is the defendant's ability to repair the embezzled funds. A determination on whether the solicitor can prove the case must also be considered based on the discovery provided.
