MONROE - Embezzlement charges were dropped in Green County Circuit Court Wednesday, Feb. 22, against the former business associate of a man convicted in January of Medicaid fraud.

Michele R. Meighan, 27, faced 20 felony counts of embezzling more than $10,000 in 2008 from a local transport service owned by Anthony R. Anglin.

According to court records, all restitution owed the court has been paid in full.

Anglin, 28, also of Monroe, reported in January 2009 that as his secretary and bookkeeper, Meighan, then known as Michele R. Hanson, had forged checks to withdraw money from the business bank account of Anglin Transport Services,Inc., during about a six-month period the previous year.

Anglin has since been charged with committing Medicaid fraud as owner of the transport company. He was charged in May on four Class H felony counts and in January pleaded no contest to one count. The other three counts were dismissed.

His sentencing is scheduled for March 6.
