Asheville police are asking for help from the public to locate a 56-year-old woman they say embezzled $236,628 from a law firm.

Frisby is charged with obtaining property under false pretense exceeding $100,000, four counts of forgery and four counts of uttering a forged instrument – the use of a forged document to defraud others.

Frisby is described at 5 feet 4 inches tall with brown hair and blue eyes. (Image attached.)
