Martin said investigation shows checks and balances were possibly manipulated to have the embezzlement occur because of her employment status.
In a statement police Chief Chuck Hasty said Lynch surrendered to the police department Thursday morning to face the charges.
Hasty said investigation began on March 1 when the business filed a report concerning payroll issues, which reportedly showed Lynch was paying herself extra money over a period of time. Martin said that time period was from 2008 to the time the report was filed.
Lynch was charged with nine counts of embezzlement and received a $20,000 bond and April 20 court date.
