A former bookkeeper was arrested and charged after depositing more than $230,000 into her own bank account.
Linda Haines, 60, of 3077 Lunar Street, forged 181 checks belonging to IAK Florida Designs LLC, 600 5th Ave. S. Suite #306, and made them payable to her sons and herself, reports say.
Deputies believe she covered the theft by making false entries to the company’s books by showing the checks were made payable to vendors working with IAK.
The business owner realized Haines stole the money when she was fired in May 2007 and contacted CCSO.
Deputies located Haines Tuesday afternoon and she was charged with scheming to defraud over $50,000.
