A former employee of the Milford PNC bank location was arrested for fraud of a financial institution Tuesday night after she allegedly admitted taking more than $17,000 from people’s accounts.
According to court documents, officers with the Milford Police Department spoke with an investigator for PNC Bank.
The bank investigator told police an internal investigation found that a theft occurred at PNC’s Milford branch, 127 N. Main St. in Milford.
Former employee Michelle Lee Buie, 39, of 208 Stonewall Court, Nappanee, allegedly admitted to the bank investigator and police she took money from her bank drawer.
On Oct. 13, the bank investigator noted that one customer had $9,000 taken from an account after Buie forged a withdraw ticket and another account had $900 taken from it.
The $900 was taken from the account Nov. 7.
Buie allegedly admitted to police that she took $8,000 from a third account but later paid that back.
Buie was booked into Kosciusko County Jail on $5,000 bond.
