A Soddy-Daisy woman who admitted to stealing $22,000 from a bank where she worked as a cashier is paying back the money but still faces criminal charges, her attorney said.
Kathy L. Shipley was indicted on charges of theft, and her case is expected back in court in January. She entered a no plea, her attorney Jerry Summers said.
Shipley took the money from Citizens Tri-County Bank in Soddy-Daisy between February and March of this year and when she was caught, Summers said, she signed an agreement with the bank agreeing to make restitution payments if bank officials did not proceed with criminal charges.
So far, she has paid back nearly $10,000 and has been making payments since April 2010, he said.
But the bank has reneged on its agreement, Summers said in a motion filed this week.
