The Hartnell College employee who came under investigation last November by the Salinas Police Department for allegedly embezzling thousands of dollars has been arrested. Rocio Mendoza, 51, was arrested on 11 counts of identity theft and embezzlement on Tuesday, May 17.
Originally an investigator hired by Hartnell estimated in November that Mendoza had made 102 personal purchases on a Hartnell Foundation credit card totaling $10,784. The information was handed over to Salinas Police, and after six months of investigation police officials now estimate the total at $27,000.
According to the announcement Mendoza also allegedly falsified time card entries in the Foundation’s web-based payroll system, using part-time employee profiles.
