July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
A former Bambi's Roofing Inc. employee was sentenced Monday in Kosciusko Superior Court 1 for embezzling more than $200,000 from her former employer.
Christy Grogg, 42, of 3731 E. Ford Drive, Rochester, was sentenced to four years in prison for forgery, a Class C felony.
A second charge, theft, a Class C felony, was dismissed through a plea agreement.
Grogg, who worked in accounting for Bambi's, was suspected of embezzling in March 2003. At that time, company owner Ken Collins was notified of overdrawn bank accounts. Upon checking the business' check register, Collins learned of several unauthorized checks written to Grogg.
Grogg reportedly forged the checks and deleted the records from the company computer.
When confronted with the crime, Grogg admitted to it and said she had been doing it since June 2001, with the last check being cashed Feb. 26, 2003.
Grogg told police she had gambled all the money away at Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City and had none left.
As part of her sentence, Grogg was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $201,086.99 to Bambi's Roofing Inc. [[In-content Ad]]
