When a business feels as though certain amounts of revenue have been misplaced, it may wish to further investigate the matter. In some cases, a company may seek to place the blame on an employee, and a similar situation could leave a person facing allegations of white collar crimes. A man is reportedly facing criminal charges after he was accused of embezzling more than $25,000 while working at a golf course in Wisconsin.

Although many of the details remain unclear as to how the owners of the golf course came to believe the money had gone missing, they have accused a former manager of stealing a substantial sum. The man reportedly stands accused of erasing just under $19,000 worth of sales from a computer at the business. In addition, the owners also claim that he had taken an unspecified amount of money from cash deposit bags that were kept within the establishment overnight.

When authorities receive information on the possible presence of drug activity, a subsequent investigation may ensue. Should this investigation include a wiretap on a phone line, a conversation between two individuals could lead to allegations of drug crimes. A 27-year-old man has recently been arrested and accused of involvement in drug activity under similar circumstances in Wisconsin.

The incident reportedly took place while authorities were investigating another individual whom they suspected to be involved in the distribution of nearly 500 grams of methamphetamine. During this investigation, a wiretap was placed on her phone line. Police claim that with the use of a wiretap, they were able to uncover evidence suggesting that a man was also supplying this person with unspecified amounts of cocaine.

Breaking down on the side of the road can be a scary experience, especially late at night. Upon encountering a such a vehicle, authorities may approach with the intention of providing assistance, but the situation could turn into an investigation should they deem the actions of the occupants suspicious in any way. A 27-year-old woman in Wisconsin has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of drug crimes under similar circumstances.

Authorities claim the incident took place after officers encountered a vehicle that was parked on the shoulder of the interstate. The occupants reportedly informed police that they were waiting on a tow truck, and upon being asked for identification, police assert that both individuals stated that they weren't carrying their driver's licenses. They also claim that one of the occupants attempted to provide a false name.

With the recent growth of online shopping, it might not be all that uncommon for a person to receive multiple packages through the mail on a weekly basis. A person can purchase almost anything on the internet and have it shipped right to his or her door. Unfortunately, a Wisconsin woman is now facing accusations of drug crimes after authorities claim she used an encrypted computer network to purchase illegal narcotics.

Authorities say the investigation began when a postal service worker allegedly discovered two packages containing multiple tablets of oxycodone that were addressed to the woman. After looking into her shipping and receiving history, they claim to have discovered that she had received over 600 packages in the previous two years alone. Police assert that she showed up to pick up the packages the same day, and she was taken into custody upon arrival.
