A grand jury has indicted a Salisbury woman for embezzling more than $140,000 from a local attorney.
The Rowan County grand jury meeting Monday indicted Kimberly "Kim" Osborne on the charge of felony embezzlement.
The indictment charges that she took $142,414 from James T. Oxendine between Jan. 1, 2007, and Jan. 1, 2008.
She was an employee of Oxendine's during that time.
Osborne was at the time married to Terry Osborne, currently manager of the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC system.
Kim Osborne previously worked for the Clerk of Court's office when Terry Osborne was Rowan County Clerk of Superior Court.
Terry Osborne petitioned for a divorce, which was granted in August 2009.
Salisbury Police investigated the case, with assistance from the SBI.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
