The Lake County prosecutor's office charged Casey J. Tinnel of Valparaiso, Indiana this week with embezzling thousands of dollars from a Merrillville dental business.
Prosecutors named Tinnel, 28, an office manager for Advance Dental Care of Merrillville, in a Lake Criminal court charge. They allege Tinnel was responsible for depositing customers' payments in the business bank account, but kept some money for her own use and covered up the shortage.
Debra McCarthy, an area supervisor for the Dental Center, alleged an audit discovered $8,812 missing.
