Truly Ann Dominowski Jailed for 120 days for Embezzlement From Michigan Dentist

Truly Ann Dominowski, 52, caught embezzling from an Auburn dentist, was sentenced for her crime this week.

Dominowski, of Auburn, Michigan was charged with a felony count of embezzlement of $20,000 to $50,000 as a result of an investigation that began after her employer, Dr. Peter Morley Jr., discovered she had been stealing money from his practice, the Auburn Family Dentistry, where she was employed as the office manager.

Truly Ann Dominowski sentenced to 120 days in jail

Truly Ann Dominowski entered a guilty plea to a count of attempted embezzlement in April, and was sentenced Monday in the Bay County Circuit Court. Judge Kenneth W. Schmidt levied 120 days in jail, three years of probation, 400 hours of community service, $30,184 restitution and no contact with the victims or staff members.

Morley spoke during the sentencing and provided the Daily News with a copy of his statement, which chronicles years of believing the economy was to blame for difficulty paying the bills.

“She knew over the last several years how difficult it was for me to pay all the bills at my office,” Morley said. “Often, I was unable to make the payroll, and I did not get paid.”

Truly Ann Dominowski stole over $100,000

The investigation showed that Truly Ann Dominowski who worked at the business 21 years, had been stealing since 2008, and the total was well over $100,000. Morley said he was shocked to find she took the money even though he paid her a good salary, plus bonuses and vacations, and treated her family for free.

After being unable to give his employees raises for the last few years, having to tell them the practice income was flat and his income had gone down, things began looking up as soon as Dominowski was let go.

“I was able to give all of my employees a good raise just weeks after she was gone and another raise later in the year. I have never had another problem paying any of my bills since she has been gone, and our schedule is the same,” he said.

Before asking for the maximum penalty in the case, Morley commented on the Dominowskis' lifestyle, including regularly redecorating her home, spending time at her vacation home, showing off her wardrobe and jewelry and sending her daughter to a private school, all while stealing from him and pretending to be his friend. He called the restitution almost symbolic in comparison to what she stole.

“She has damaged my practice and hurt my family, my employees and my patients,” he said. “We have put in hundreds of hours trying to clean up the accounts, and I am still writing off thousands of dollars on patient accounts that say they paid cash.”
