JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- Police in Johnson City have arrested a former bookkeeper on charges that she stole from her employer.
Penny Freeman of Elizabethton is charged with theft over $60,000.
According to the Johnson City Press, investigators said Freeman took a total of $221,000 by writing checks to herself while working as a bookkeeper at Baird Machine Company in 2009 and 2010.
