A former Louisiana police dispatcher was arrested after she allegedly would not return $1.2 million that was accidentally deposited into her bank account.

The 33-year-old woman had been fired from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office after being charged with theft valued over $25,000, bank fraud and illegal transmission of monetary funds.

Due to an accounting error, extra funds were deposited in her account. She then moved the money to another account which prevented Sheriff’s office from retrieving the funds.

They were unable to contact the woman regarding the error and filed a lawsuit against her and have so far recovered around 75% of the money.

Authorities said that after she moved the money, she used some of it to buy a new house and a car, a 2021 Hyundai Genesis.

A Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said, “She has no legal claim to that money. Even if it was put in there by mistake. It was an accounting error. If someone accidentally puts an extra zero on a utility payment, they would want that money returned or credited to them. This is no different.”

According to their lawsuit, the woman’s contract stated she agreed to return any overpaid funds.

She is currently being held on a $50,000 bond.
