$40,000 had been stolen from the company by various means.

On Thursday officers arrested Nicole King of Negaunee for one count of embezzlement, more than $20,000 but less than $50,000, six counts of forgery, and six counts of uttering and publishing. She had been working at the Institute in a clerical capacity during the time the money was discovered to be missing.
