Jerry had been working for a school in Wayne County, Michigan, for several years. He was responsible for handling the school's finances, including managing budgets and paying bills. Unfortunately, Jerry had recently fallen on hard times and accumulated significant debt, and he began to feel desperate.
Desperate for a solution, Jerry began to embezzle money from the school, intending to pay it back as soon as he could. At first, it was just a small amount, but as his financial situation worsened, he found himself taking larger and larger sums of money.
Eventually, the school's accounting department discovered the missing funds and conducted an internal investigation. The evidence against Jerry was overwhelming, and he was immediately terminated from his job and reported to the authorities.
Jerry was arrested and charged with embezzlement, a serious felony offense in Wayne County, Michigan. He was terrified and had no idea how to navigate the complex legal system. He knew that a felony conviction could have a devastating impact on his life, ruining his career prospects and damaging his reputation.
