SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The former bookkeeper for two Sioux Falls dental practices is facing sentencing for embezzlement.
Cheryl Callies faces up to 15 years in prison when she’s sentenced Monday for embezzling nearly $122,000 from Montoya Dental Office before it became 10th Street Dental. She continued to work at the practice and embezzled more than $8,000 after the business changed hands.
Prosecutors say Callies admitted adjusting payment records at the businesses in order to receive cash. The embezzlement occurred from 2011 to 2018.
KELO-TV reports court records say Callies told investigators she was stealing money for video lottery and because of “payday loans and loneliness.”

DELL RAPIDS, S.D. (AP) — A financial crime specialist from Dell Rapids is running as a Democrat for the U.S. House seat currently held by Republican Dusty Johnson.
Brian Wirth is treasurer of the Minnehaha County Democratic Party. He lost to state Sen. Kris Langer in District 25 last year, a district he says is heavily gerrymandered in favor of Republicans.
The 36-year-old Wirth says he wants to bring attention to the problems of gerrymandering in his campaign. The Argus Leader says Wirth also wants to focus on Republicans’ tax increases and Democrats’ work to support health care and higher wages for residents.
Wirth works in fraud and financial crime detection and prevention at banking institutions.
Johnson, in his first term in Congress, hasn’t announced yet that’s he seeking re-election.
