A woman has been charged with felony embezzlement for allegedly stealing about $250,000 from a Toyota dealership when it was in Louisville, Miss., local station WTOK reported.
Louisville is in eastern Mississippi, northeast of Jackson.
Latisha Jones Smith, 50, was formerly the comptroller for Doc’s Toyota, according to WTOK. She had been let go by Doc’s Toyota on Jan. 5 for matters unrelated to the charges, the local station reported.
The store had been auditing its books in the intervening months, according to WTOK.
Smith is also facing additional charges of felony embezzlement in Neshoba County, Miss., where Doc’s Toyota is now located. She is accused of stealing about $71,000, WTOK reported in April. The store is in Philadelphia in central Mississippi.
Doc’s Toyota declined to comment. Smith was not able to be contacted for comment.
Smith’s bond was set at $25,000, which she met last week, WTOK reported.
