Former Clarksville attorney indicted on theft charges
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A former Clarksville attorney has been indicted on three counts of theft.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced that Carrie Gasaway was arrested Wednesday.
In a statement, the agency said it found Gasaway commingled funds between her attorney trust account and operating account from January 2014 through February 2015. Agents say they learned Gasaway did not disperse $45,831 owed to one client, and $2,000 for medical bills in the name of another client.
Authorities also say Gasaway kept $1,000 of trust money paid by a third client for costs related to a case.
Special agents began investigating Gasaway in August. She and law partner Fletcher Long operated a Clarksville law firm until July. Both were convicted of extortion in May.
It isn’t immediately clear if she has an attorney.
