A woman previously arrested for embezzling $300,000 from a former employer in San Carlos is now suspected of siphoning $100,000 from a North Bay company.
Tina M. Cabudoy, former business manager of Amaturo Sonoma Media Group, was arrested by Santa Rosa police on Wednesday.
Cabudoy, 50, is suspected of embezzling $100,000 from the company, which owns nine radio stations in the North Bay.
Her expenses reportedly included purchases from Amazon, personal travel, luxury hotel stays, an extravagant birthday party for herself and passing checks to herself, police said.
The company alerted police on April 4, and detectives began examining its finances, completing an audit of expenses by Cabudoy, who had access to company checks and credit cards.
After serving several search warrants at financial institutions and analyzing data, detectives discovered that Cabudoy had allegedly spent more than $160,000 in unauthorized transactions.
While detectives were investigating the case, Cabudoy moved from Santa Rosa to San Jose. On Wednesday, Santa Rosa investigators traveled to the city of South Bay and served a search warrant at her home in the 14000 block of Jerilyn Drive. She was arrested and booked into the Sonoma County Jail on suspicion of embezzlement.
She is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning, according to jail records.
Cabudoy is also suspected of embezzling more than $300,000 while working at a San Carlos-based technology company. She was arrested in March in connection with that case, which is ongoing.
