Stealing from work for 8 years

QUEENSBURY—The former vice president of a land development company is accused of stealing $320,000 from her employer over an eight year period.

State Police claim that Diane M. Miller, 56, of Coach Road, Argyle, allegedly wrote unauthorized checks to herself and others between 2000 and earlier this year while working for Guido Passarelli, owner and president of Terre Majestic Inc. Miller has been charged with second degree grand larceny. She was arraigned before Queensbury town justice Robert McNally and although she has never been arrested previously, McNally set her bail at $200,000 cash or $400,000 bond.

According to police, the alleged theft was discovered when company officials became suspicious that money was missing and hired an accountant to review the company’s financial records.
