Debry Davis (who also used the surname Smothers), a Saginaw, Michigan dental office manager for approximately eighteen years, was convicted in 2012 of embezzling from her employer and sentenced to a prison term of six months to five years. The practice owner became suspicious when Davis began directing patients toward Medicaid billing in situations where cash had historically been collected — a shift in payment patterns away from established norms that served as the key diagnostic indicator of embezzlement in this case.
