MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - A Martinsburg man faces charges of embezzling more than $170,000 from his employer.
The Journal reports that Joseph William Pugh Jr., 65, was arraigned on Thursday on a felonious embezzlement count.
Pugh is accused of embezzling the money over a seven-year period from Heiston Supply Company.
State Police say the investigation began after the company's president discovered $400 was missing from a business deposit on July 31. The company's president told state police that Pugh took over the deposits in 2008.
