First Financial Bank Employee Charged with Embezzlement

The Office of the United States Attorney has filed a criminal information charging Jeannie M. Bellar with embezzlement.  The indictment states:


Jeannie M. Bellar, being an employee with First Financial Bank . . . did steal and embezzle the sume of approximately SEVENTEEN THOUSAND ($17,000.00) DOLLARS . . .and without authority converted it to her own use.

It is unknown whether Bellar has been arrested but it would be unusual for the US Attorney to announce an indictment without first arranging for the arrest or surrender of the Defendant.
