ST. GEORGE — A southern Utah woman who worked payroll for her company is facing criminal charges accusing her of giving herself nearly $100,000 in raises.
Kimberly Marie Davis, 50, of Washington, Washington County, was charged Tuesday in 5th District Court with theft by deception and communications fraud, second-degree felonies.
Davis was employed "to perform payroll services for a business. However, (she) gave herself raises without the owner's permission or agreement. As a result, she paid herself $98,000 more than the amount to which she was entitled," according to charging documents.
Prosecutors say the business is a "local health care company in St. George" but did not name the company in court documents.
