COBB COUNTY, GA — A Cobb County man accused of stealing $500,000 from his employer was handed a 101-count indictment recently, according to the Cobb County District Attorney's Office. Joshua Aaron Knight of Kennesaw faces 100 counts of theft by taking as a fiduciary, and one count of racketeering, according to his indictment. Authorities say Knight, who worked as an account supervisor for Infomart, wrote himself dozens of checks between January 2018 and September 2019. He was not authorized to write checks to himself, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. "Said accused deposited 130 Infomart, Inc. business checks in the total amount of $587,826.10 into his personal Bank of America account," Knight's arrest warrant said, according to the AJC. Knight was initially charged with one count of theft by conversion. He was released from jail on bond, according to jail records.
