Law firm worker arrested in theft
Lawyer Blogs
A 40-year-old Denham Springs woman has been arrested for allegedly misappropriating $30,000 while working at a law firm.
According to court documents, the misappropriation of funds occurred between July 15, 2008, and June 12.
During that time, authorities say Christine Cronin Iddings used company credit cards to make purchases.
Investigators with the Attorney General's Fugitive Apprehension Unit arrested Iddings Thursday, and booked her into Parish Prison on 54 counts of access device fraud, 15 counts of forgery and a count of identity theft.
It wasn't immediately clear if Iddings has an attorney.
