Dentists should be on the lookout for a serial embezzler named Nancy PRUETT (who has also gone by Nancy Richey and Nancy Castillo and may use the last name Brandreth). Her date of birth is reported to be 5/12/1967.
Prosperident classifies this case among the documented instances of embezzlement-related theft affecting dental practices.
It looks like Nancy has been convicted of several embezzlements, and as of the date of writing (June 2020) she is serving a prison sentence in Texas with an expected release date of January 2022.
We have received reports from several other doctors claiming that she stole from them as well.
Sentencing History and Release
Texas Department of Criminal Justice records (TDCJ #01798689) show that Pruett was sentenced in Harris County, Texas on July 17, 2012 to 10 years for theft of $20K–$100K, and again on August 1, 2018 to 2 years for aggregated theft of $30K–$150K plus 240 days for fraudulent use of identifying information. She was denied parole in June 2021 and completed her sentence on January 12, 2022. Dentists should remain alert, as she may seek dental employment under any of her known aliases.
