A Clinton Township woman was sentenced February 2, 2023 for the charge of Embezzlement by an Agent or Trustee over $1,000 and less than $20,000, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced. Tina Coleman, 47, was sentenced to:
- 6 Months in Macomb County Jail;
- 24 Months’ Probation (including the 6 in custody); and,
- Restitution totaling $73,521.68, after she is released from jail.
LakePointe Senior Care and Rehabilitation Center, located in Clinton Township, employed Coleman as the Business Office Manager. The Center conducted an audit over discrepancies discovered with a deposit in September 2021, and found 65 unauthorized trust checks were written to five unknown individuals between March 13, 2017, and September 16, 2021. The investigation revealed that Coleman wrote the checks and had individuals cash them for her. Coleman was not authorized by the facility to write the checks, or receive any money from them, as the funds were placed in trust for the residents of the facility.
