ALBANY, Ore. -- More details are coming to light after a former Linn County office manager was charged with 10 counts of first-degree aggravated theft and two counts of first-degree theft in an embezzlement case that spans over eight years.
According to police, 48-year-old Angela Adams allegedly stole $235,000 from the Linn County Planning and Building Department in Albany.
Police arrested Adams on Tuesday and held her in the Linn County Jail until she was released a short time later.
A Linn County employee told a supervisor last March he suspected Adams was stealing from the department. That employee then requested a financial audit of the department.
