Clark is accused of depositing 92 checks made out to Kwan into her own Bank of America account, according to police. Those checks totaled more than $55,000.

She is also accused of crediting an additional $9,814 to her own account by creating fraudulent credits, according to the warrant. The thefts allegedly occurred between January 2006 and December at Kwan’s Shallowford Road dental office.

The warrant for Clark’s arrest was released last Thursday. She apparently turned herself in to police Tuesday evening. She was released from the Cobb County jail on $15,000 bond just after 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Clark faces theft by deception and theft by taking charges, both felonies.
