From the Lansing State Journal on 3/15/2015:
A former employee at Mason State Bank has been indicted on a charge that she embezzled $160,000 from the bank over a three-year period, federal officials said.
Megan Kolberg, 36, of Mason, was indicted March 11 in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids for embezzlement over $1,000 and appeared before a magistrate on Friday, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release.
The government alleges Kolberg stole cash from the bank from December 2009 until May 2013 and concealed her actions by making false entries in the bank's records.
If convicted, Kolberg would face up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million. She has been released on bond, it said.
The case is being investigated by the FBI and Mason police, the attorney's office said.
Lansing Community Newspapers readers chose Kolberg as their "favorite bank teller" in the company's 2011 People's Choice edition. Lansing Community Newspapers is a publication of the Lansing State Journal.
There was no answer at Kolberg's listed phone number on Saturday. She didn't return Facebook messages seeking comment.
It was not clear on Saturday whether she had retained an attorney.
