Officer Amanda Perry Now Being Investigated for Embezzlement

FAIRFAX, Va.

Fairfax County police say an officer who was involved in a fatal crash is now under investigation for embezzlement and has resigned from the department.

Officials say 23-year-old Amanda Perry has been accused of falsifying her work time and attendance reports. Police say she had been placed on administrative duty after the February 2008 crash.

Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney Raymond Morrogh says he has not decided whether to charge Perry.

Fairfax prosecutors had charged Perry last year with reckless driving in the crash, which killed a 33-year-old teacher's assistant. Perry was found not guilty after a September trial.
