LANSING — A Lansing woman was sentenced to up to 12 months in the Ingham County Jail or stealing more than $100,000 in cash over several years from a Lansing Township optometry practice.
Lorraine Montalvo, 47, pleaded guilty in March to two counts of embezzlement of $20,000 or more. She was sentenced today in a Lansing court.
She worked for roughly 26 years a the office manager for Optometrists of Lansing.
Montalvo has told Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Paula Manderfield that when patients paid in cash, she kept the money for herself instead of depositing it.
She then spent the money at Soaring Eagle Casino in Mount Pleasant, said Anna Plummer, an optician with the practice.
A restitution hearing is scheduled for May. http://bit.ly/a3yrRF
