Formerly licensed insurance agent, Mandy Pruitt, 42, of Visalia, Calif., was arraigned today on one count of grand theft after she allegedly stole more than $4,400 from a client and used the money to pay for personal expenses.
The alleged crime was reported to the California Department of Insurance after the victim noticed several unauthorized charges on their bank statement totaling $4,429. An investigation by the CDI reportedly revealed that Pruitt worked for an insurance agency that sold insurance to the victim and had access to their bank account information.
