A former Miamisburg U.S. Bank manager was arrested late Thursday afternoon on a federal embezzlement charge.
Amy Scarpelli, 48, is being held without bond in the Butler County Jail in Hamilton.
Scarpelli had her first appearance Thursday in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Sharon Ovington in federal court in Dayton.
The charge is embezzlement, which is theft or misapplication by a bank officer or employee. Details of the case are under federal seal, and not yet public record.
Scarpelli is scheduled for a detention hearing Tuesday in federal court. We expect to learn more information once court records are made public.
"Per our policy, we will not comment on an ongoing investigation, but we are cooperating with both local and federal law enforcement," said Dana Ripley, a U.S. Bank senior vice president.
Scarpelli is no longer employed with the bank.
