Robin McKenzie, 36, of Moffat County, Colorado (CO), was released on a personal recognizance bond after being accused of embezzling more than $30,000 from two local organizations, including a non-profit dental clinic. McKenzie had originally been held on a $20,000 bond following her arrest, but was released after her attorney successfully petitioned for reduced bail terms. The District Attorney's Office did not oppose the bond reduction.
