A woman originally from Vian is facing embezzlement charges in Fort Smith, Ark., after allegedly embezzling more than $100,000 from her former employer.

According to a press release issued by Fort Smith Police Sgt. Jarrard Copeland, Wayne King, the owner of Complete Medical Solutions, reported on Dec. 28 to Fort Smith Police that one of his employees, Tambra Gowin, had stolen money from his business.

Copeland reported that Gowin, 49, was the office manager and bookkeeper for the business and King suspected she had been stealing from the business for the past two years. King terminated Gowin on Jan. 1.

Detective Ron Scamardo investigated the case and eventually determined that Gowin had embezzled over $100,000 from the business. Gowin, who is currently working in Oklahoma, was arrested after she turned herself in on Jan. 29. She was booked into the Sebastian County Jail in Fort Smith with a $25,000 bond. She later bonded out of jail.
