Dodds faces one count of felony theft by conversion, according to the indictment.

Dodds allegedly stole $5,000 from her employer 24/7 Best Bonding company between May 2016 and July 2017, according to the indictment.

Court documents stated Dodds reportedly received bond money from inmates at the Coweta County Jail and/or their family members which she allegedly kept for herself instead of handing it over to 24/7 Best Bonding.

According to the arrest warrant, Dodds reportedly wrote and collected on 53 separate bonds – but did not log them into company’s system or make her employers at 24/7 Best Bonding aware of the paperwork.

The warrant stated Dodds collected and kept at least $23,250.

"We did terminate Ms. Dodds due to not following policy and procedure upon receiving a phone call from a client about a bond,” stated 24/7 Best Bond Owner Julie Ford during an earlier interview. “We did an audit, found money was missing and turned everything over to the (CCSO) investigators."

According to the police report, when Ford realized money was not being properly documented, she had an audit completed on her business dating back to January 2016.

The audit allegedly included all of the bonds that Dodds signed.

Dodds allegedly committed the same crime in Meriwether County where she also did work for 24/7 Best Bonds, the report stated.

That amount totaled $6,720, according to the Meriwether County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office believe Dodds stole close to $30,000 from people in both counties.

While Dodds admitted to being arrested in both counties, she adamantly denied the charges against her during an earlier interview with The Newnan Times-Herald.

“Mind blowing … these are completely false allegations,” Dodds stated.

At that time, she was confident the charges against her in both Coweta and Meriwether Counties would be dismissed and her name would be cleared.

“My character will go on and I will be bonding again,” Dodds said. “These allegations came after I left (24/7 Best Bonds), and the truth’s gonna come out.

“I gave a public service to this community. I did my job, 24 hours around the clock,” she continued. “I loved my job immensely. I still love my job immensely. I take pride in my work, and the community saw that …”

As of Friday afternoon, it was unclear when Dodds would appear in court again in Coweta County – and whether she was indicted on charges in Meriwether County.
