MARQUETTE, MI-- A former employee of the Superior Eye Health and Vision Therapy Center in Marquette has been sentenced for embezzlement.
Jamie Tasson, 39, was initially charged with seven counts of embezzlement over $100,000, possession of a fraudulent financial transaction device, and using a computer to commit a crime. She allegedly took more than $250,000 from center owner, Dr. Heidi Johnson.
Tasson pleaded guilty in November to a reduced embezzlement charge. In return the other charges were dropped.
She was sentenced Thursday to six months in jail. Three months are to be served immediately and the rest will be deferred. Tasson was also given 18 months of probation.
She’s paid $40,000 in restitution. The remaining amount is yet to be determined.
