Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck previously told News Center 7 that the theft was motivated by selfish reasons.
“We do know that she was using the money for, and let’s just say it wasn’t for charity work. It was so her family could pretty much do whatever they wanted,” Streck said.
Streck said leaders at the medical practice came to deputies with concerns in July of this year.
Detectives launched an investigation that found Grant, who began working at the practice in 2019, didn’t wait long to help herself.
“Six years she worked there, and from what it sounds like, she started doing it pretty early on in her professional career there,” Streck said.
Investigators determined she had misappropriated more than $834,000 from the practice over the course of several years.
Jail records show that Grant is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 16.
