Lawsuit filed over alleged embezzlement

Friday, Dec. 1, 2000 | 10:30 a.m.

An insurance company sued Denise Orr, a Village Pub & Casino-Green Valley manager, to recover $100,000 in reimbursements it made to the restaurant and bar after she allegedly confessed to police to embezzling $485,000.

In a Clark County District Court suit, United National Group alleged Orr, who was authorized to order money from the pub to fill ATM machines, admitted to "regularly ordering ATM money three times a week and pocketing one order weekly for two years."

United National, which said Village Pub is insured for up to $100,000 for monies stolen by its employees, alleged Orr admitted to stealing the money after it was discovered after an audit on Aug. 3 that "there were major discrepancies over requests for ATM money."

Orr could not be reached for comment.
