Donna Campbell, 53, a bookkeeper at Bridgman Family Dental Care in Three Oaks, Michigan (MI), was sentenced to 180 days in custody, five years of probation, and $116,209 in restitution after investigators established that she had embezzled $88,116 from the practice — an amount that, by her own admission, closely matched her losses at area casinos over the same period.
Michigan State Police documented a multi-method fraud spanning four years. Campbell stole cash directly, manipulated payroll records to inflate her own salary, and issued company checks to herself using fabricated medical expenses as justification. The three-pronged approach appears to have been designed so that no single method would attract immediate scrutiny.
