The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office has arrested a woman who they say embezzled over half a million dollars from companies she managed.
Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet says in February, detectives began investigating after a Terrebonne parish business owner complained to the sheriff’s office that he noticed money missing from companies he owned and which were managed by 32-year-old Christina Percle Adams.

Through the investigation, detectives found that Adams made several non-business-related charges on company credit cards which included purchases for personal vacations, paying her vehicle notes, utility bills, jewelry, and gambling.
On Wednesday, deputies arrested Adams for theft of over $500,000. She was released from jail on the same day after posting a $120,000.00 bond.
