W.Va. bank employee charged with embezzlement

An 18-year employee of Huntington Bank who collected vault deposits has been charged with embezzlement.
Authorities say they're not sure how much money was stolen, but it's more than $1,000.
A criminal complaint says 36-year-old Katina Dawn Sweitzer of Fairview collected money delivered by an armored car. Authorities discovered the thefts in January when West Virginia University reported several outstanding deposits.
The complaint also says Sweitzer confessed the thefts to bank security officers and led investigators to her car, where they found bank bags containing deposit slips and checks from both WVU and Lowe's Corp.
A spokeswoman for Huntington Bank declined comment.
Sweitzer is free on $10,000 bond. It's unclear whether she has a lawyer.
