He was last seen on Saturday, March 25. Crouch said White was supposed to be walking to Lucky Charm Pawn to cash a check, but White never arrived there and his wife hasn’t heard from him since.

“He does not have any family or friends in Shawnee,” Crouch said. “He walks everywhere as he does not have a vehicle.”

White was last seen wearing blue jeans, brown steel-toe boots, a green, long-sleeved shirt and a black and white New York Yankees hat.

He has “NY” tattooed on the inside of both arms. Crouch said his phone goes straight to voice mail.

White has been entered into the National Crime Information Center database as a missing person.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call Shawnee police, 405-273-2121.

A longtime bookkeeper for a Northern Kentucky Bank admitted in federal court that she embezzled more than $100,000 from her employer over a three-year period.

Linda Penick, 58, of Dry Ridge, Kentucky, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to bank embezzlement before U.S. District Court Judge David L Bunning.

Penick admitted that, from 2010 until 2013, she defrauded the Grant County Deposit Bank by transferring bank funds to her personal account and issuing cashier checks and money orders to herself. Many of these checks and money orders were made payable to her husband. Penick admitted that she used the money to pay bills and taxes.

According to the plea agreement, Penick embezzled $118,775.00 over a three-year period. Penick worked at the bank for 23 years.

Penick waived her right to be indicted by a grand jury and pled guilty to the embezzlement charge by way of an information.

Kerry B. Harvey, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Perrye K. Turner, Special Agent in Charge, FBI, jointly made the announcement.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI. The U.S. Attorney’s Office was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura K. Voorhees.

Penick is scheduled to be sentenced on July 22, 2014. The bank embezzlement offense carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a maximum fine of $1 million. However, any sentence will be imposed by the court after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statutes.

Tickets for the UK versus Louisville Sweet 16 game Friday are expected to cost more than the actual championship game itself.

They’re already listed online for upwards of 500% more than face value. So, if you’re spending the big bucks – how can you be sure your ticket is legit?

Face value tickets for this weekend’s games range from $50 to about $200. But diehard fans will likely be paying much more, whether it’s online or on the streets. Ticket brokers in Indy are required to carry a yellow card that indicates a legal license to sell tickets within a mile of the stadium.

“We’re telling people to ask for that, and they can trust that their tickets will be real,’ said Adam Baker with Indianapolis Code Enforcement.

Anyone caught selling tickets illegally can be fined up to $2,500, which is why code enforcement will be out in full. The team, which operates both in uniform and undercover, typically busts about one illegal vendor every 20 minutes on game days.

“People are getting smarter day by day, and sometimes it’s hard to tell which tickets will be fake until the day of the event,” Baker said.

But it’s a risk many diehard fans are willing to take.

“It’s going to cost a lot to get in here, but it’s worth it because it’s gonna be fun,” said True Blue fan Kyle Stidom said.

Tickets are sold out for Friday’s game, but are still available for Sunday’s match up for as low as $50 each.
