Embezzlement cases in district court today

Women involved in two separate cases of embezzlement are expected to enter guilty pleas in Douglas County District Court this morning.

In the less than nine months that 46-year-old Peggy Henderson worked for Bob's Performance Center, she is accused of taking $50,000 from the business.

A restitution hearing will be held to determine how much money was missing, Henderson's attorney Tod Young said.

Henderson is expected to enter a guilty plea to one count of embezzlement. In exchange, prosecutors will drop 10 other charges.

Also scheduled to appear before Judge Michael Gibbons this morning is Sarah McKinnis, 34.

McKinnis, the former manager of the Village Motel in Gardnerville, was charged with embezzling nearly $11,000 from her employer.

She lived at the motel and was accused of taking the money from Aug. 28-Nov. 11, 2009.

McKinnis is represented by lawyer Kris Brown.
