Private Detective: Man Accused of Embezzling Millions in Lexington

Authorities have captured a man on the run since 2009, accused of embezzling millions of dollars from the Lexington division of a Cincinnati-based company.

In May 2009, a federal grand jury handed down a 75-count indictment charging James Hammes, 53, with wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors say he embezzled approximately $8.7 million from a Cincinnati-based company between 1998 and February 2009. Investigators say Hammes was employed as the controller for the company’s Lexington Pepsi bottling plant at the time.

Hammes fled after FBI agents interviewed him in February 2009. Authorities in Damascus, Va. arrested him Saturday.
