GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — While men are overwhelming the gender convicted of all kinds of crime, women are gaining in one area specifically: embezzlement.

In the past few months, 24 Hour News 8 has reported a number embezzlement cases involving women:

Mary Beth Knapp of Kentwood was the operations manager for D & M Logistics, also known as America’s Transportation Resources, based not far from the Gerald R. Ford Airport on 44th Street.

Stephanie Marie DeBoer will be sentenced Feb. 20 in Kalamazoo Federal Court after she pleaded guilty to stealing more than $300,000 from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Kalamazoo where she was the office manager and bookkeeper.
