17 year old Bonners Ferry girl charged in embezzlement case
A 17-year-old girl working at the Boundary County Drivers License office is charged with embezzlement after $621 went missing from funds. The loss was detected when a bank notified the office of a bad check and an audit confirmed the missing amount. She returned $30 of the money after being confronted. The case hinges on whether she will be tried as an adult when she turns 18 in August.
