SUMMARY: Shannon Taylor, a former dispatcher for the Newton County Sheriff’s Office, has been arrested and charged with embezzlement and fraud in public office. It is alleged that Taylor altered her timesheets after they were approved by her supervisor. The State Auditor’s Office conducted an investigation and Taylor was served with a demand letter for $16,263.72 at the time of her arrest. If convicted, Taylor could face up to 10 years in prison and $5,000 in fines.
