Atascadero bookkeeper avoids jail for embezzlement

November 12, 2014

Alisha Amber Cannon, 31, allegedly used her bookkeeper position at Templeton-based Simons Construction Inc. to divert funds into her personal account. She did so over a period of at least three years, according to court documents.

Last week, a San Luis Obispo County Superior Court judge sentence Cannon to three years of probation and ordered her to pay restitution to Simons Construction. The sentence followed a plea deal in which prosecutors dropped two felony charges.

Cannon initially faced three counts of grand theft by embezzlement, but the agreement with prosecutors erased two of the counts.

Seems to me; this just shows people who are thinking about embezzling funds that the worst thing that will happen to them if caught, is they have to pay it back, without interest.

This just proves that justice is NOT blind.

I wonder if the owner of the construction company agreed with the deal?
