After an investigation by the Indiana State Police, a Peru dentist was arrested on accusations of pocketing money from his employees' pay that was meant to go into their retirement accounts. 

According to police reports Bryon Lean Cohee, 60, of Macy, was arrested and booked in the Miami County Jail on December 20. Cohee's charges included two counts of theft where the value falls between $750 and $50,000, a Level 6 Felony. 

The Indiana State police reported that they began investigating Cohee in February after a tip made to police. According to records, investigators soon discovered that money was being withheld from paychecks at the dentist's office that was supposed to be deposited into the employees' retirement accounts. The money, however, was never deposited. 

Court records revealed Cohee was eventually released on a $1,000 bond.

Cohee is currently looking at a potential prison sentence of six months to two and a half years if convicted.
