Woman accused of stealing more than $1 million to gamble at the casino owned by the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe of Wisconsin:
Gambling addictions are back in the news, as a Milwaukee-area woman has been charged with embezzling over a million dollars from her employer and spending it at a Potawatomi casino.

Wheaton Franciscan fired Janice Nieman in July after the health care firm accused its payroll specialist of using a scheme to pocket more than a million dollars in company funds. Nieman says she spent much of her illegal gains on slot machines at the Forest County Potawatomi casino in Milwaukee.

Local prosecutors say Nieman has just been charged with four felonies in connection with the alleged embezzlement.
