Dayton, Ohio – A former business manager was sentenced after a multi-year theft case involving significant financial losses.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Jamie Grant was sentenced on Wednesday, March 18, to 30 months in prison following her conviction for aggravated theft, a third-degree felony. She was also ordered to pay $797,762.38 in restitution.
Authorities said the case began in July 2025 when deputies from the Washington Township Substation responded to a local medical practice over concerns of employee theft. Grant, who allegedly served as the business manager, handled responsibilities including billing, payroll, and other financial and administrative duties.
During the investigation, Grant allegedly admitted to using business funds for personal expenses. Detectives determined that approximately $688,000 was misappropriated over several years.
Officials said the court-ordered restitution reflects the total financial impact on the business, including additional losses and expenses tied to the case.
Grant is currently in custody at the Montgomery County Jail, according to authorities.
The case highlights the financial risks businesses face from internal theft, particularly when employees have access to accounting systems and payroll operations.
For local workers and young professionals entering administrative roles, the case underscores the importance of financial oversight and accountability in the workplace.
