On Feb. 29, a 61-year-old man was arrested for allegedly embezzling over $100,000 from a California company. The incident took place in Lake County.
According to media accounts, the defendant was working as a bookkeeper for a local couple, and an investigation by the Lake County Sheriff's Department determined that he stole $103,000 from their business and personal bank accounts. The evidence was sent to the Lake County District Attorney's Office in September, and a criminal case was opened on Feb. 7. On Feb. 8, a judge issued a warrant for the defendant's arrest. However, he was already serving a jail sentence in Sacramento County for stealing the identities of his adult daughter and son. That sentence was complete, so he was transferred
