SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Faheemah Fowler, 34, has been arrested for theft after police say she allegedly embezzled money from the South Bend Ivy Tech Community College book store.

The South Bend Police Department says Fowler had been embezzling money for months from July until September. 

According to the report, Fowler would ring up an item and then cash it out as if it were a return, before taking the money.  Police are unsure how much money was actually stolen during the three month time period but the bookstore will be conducting an internal investigation in the meantime. 

Fowler was not an Ivy Tech employee and according to her Facebook she is the sister of Kareemah Fowler, South Bend’s current Chief Deputy City Clerk. 

Fowler is still in the St. Joseph County Jail.
