Chapin Woman Arrested for Stealing More Than $2M from Employer

A Chapin woman was arrested on Thursday for stealing more than $2 million from her employer, which police say she used for personal use.

Chandra Padgett, 43, has been charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent over $10,000 or more. The charge is a felony and Padgett could face up to 10 years in prison.

Police say Padgett, who was the office manager of Advanced Pain Therapies on Broad River Road in Irmo, used the money for her own use, having wrote checks to herself and paid credit card bills.

Police say Padgett was stealing money from the business for more than two years.

Padgett is at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.
