Florida Woman Charged with $1M Embezzlement

A school counselor in Martin County, FL, was arrested last week on a fugitive warrant alleging she rerouted $1 million in payments from an Ashburn nonprofit to her own account.

According to the Martin County Sheriff ’s Office, Tiffany Jones was arrested at her school and held in custody, pending extradition to Loudoun County.

According to the arrest warrant, the CFO at the Institute for Building Technology and Safety discovered in April that someone accessed his email and intercepted a payment to a vendor, changing the deposit information. The investigator found that she transferred money from her accounts serval times and once withdrew nearly $70,000 at a teller window.
