2016 April – A Jacksonville woman plans to hire her own attorney after being accused of embezzling money from the dentist’s office where she worked as a clerk. Former employee Sandra Lynn Hill, 39, of Cobblestone Trail in Jacksonville, was charged Wednesday by Jacksonville Police Department with felony embezzlement.
Hill has been accused of embezzling money from A Beautiful Smile, family and cosmetic dentistry, since December 2012, according to warrants. Hill’s last day at the office was April 1 and the Jacksonville Police Department received a call from Hill’s former boss about the alleged crime on April 8, according to warrants.
Hill allegedly stole approximately $15,606.18 in cash and $505.25 in payroll hours over the three-year period. Hill is also accused of buying items for herself on Amazon.com using a company credit card, according to warrants.
