Albany man accused of stealing $113K from employer to fund own business
DAVIESS CO., Mo. (KCTV) - An Albany man has been accused of stealing more than $113,000 from his employer to fund his own business.
Daviess County, Missouri, Circuit Court records filed on Wednesday, April 30, indicate that Dustin R. Zumbehl, 40, of Albany, has been accused of using company funds to finance his own business.
A probable cause statement filed by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office revealed that on Wednesday, law enforcement officials were ed by a Columbia-based company, which reported that there were large financial discrepancies involving a branch manager.
A third-party Certified Public ant completed a forensic investigation, which discovered that between April 1 and May 31, 2024, a business owned by Zumbehl, the branch manager, defrauded more than $113,000 from the company.
Investigators noted that they believe Zumbehl used company resources and billed them on behalf of his own business. His LinkedIn profile indicates that he has been a manager at Columbia-based MFA Incorporated since November 2013.
Zumbehl has been charged with felony theft. If convicted, he could spend up to 10 years behind bars and be forced to pay a $10,000 fine. As of Saturday, May 3, he does not appear to be behind bars. His bond was originally set at $125,000 but was reduced to $50,000 per a May 1 order.
A court appearance has not yet been scheduled in the case. No further information has been released.
