RICHMOND, Va. – The grim tally of white-collar crime in Virginia swelled as Pamela Minor-Chiles, 47, from Chesterfield, was sentenced today to one year in prison for a staggering misappropriation of $200,000 from a medical practice.
In a plea entered on August 17, Minor-Chiles admitted her role in the fraud. Court documents reveal that between 2007 and 2012, while serving as office manager at Central Virginia OB/GYN Associates (CVOG), she wrote numerous checks from the practice’s operating account at SunTrust Bank, depositing them into her personal accounts at Bank of America.
Minor-Chiles’ cunning scheme involved fabricating entries on check stubs to deceive. She made these fraudulent entries appear as legitimate expenses for the practice, then submitted them to outside accountants, thereby covering up her theft.
The Justice Department’s U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Dana J. Boente, and Douglas F. Mease, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service’s Richmond Field Office, announced the sentence following sentencing by U.S. District Judge M. Hannah Lauck. Assistant U.S. Attorney David T. Maguire was lead prosecutor.
