DAVIDSON COUNTY, TN — Bridgestone Americas Holding (BAH) Inc. has filed a civil complaint in Davidson County, Tenn., alleging that a former employee embezzled more than $380,000 over the past seven months.
The employee, a former senior accounting assistant for the tiremaker, reportedly funneled company check payments into her personal accounts. She had been dismissed from the company on Apr. 6.
The lawsuit names the employee as well as her husband as defendants. Davidson County Chancellor Richard Dinkins granted BAH’s request for a temporary injunction that freezes the couple’s bank accounts and other assets pending further investigation.
The couple has not been charged with a federal crime in U.S. District Court.
