San Carlos Woman Pleads Guilty to Embezzling Tribal Funds


A San Carlos woman has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $270,000 from the San Carlos Apache Tribe.

Authorities say 34 year old Holley Youvella admitted that she embezzled the money while she was a bookkeeper for the Peridot Shopping Center, owned by the tribe.

She also cashed more than 200 fraudulent checks from the shopping center’s account and directed fraudulent electronic payments to personal credit and utility accounts.

Youvella will be sentenced on October 15.
