A Versailles man accused of stealing large amounts of money, according to a press release issued by the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, is being held on $1 million cash bond.
On Jan. 19, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office received a report from an area company that a former employee might have stolen a large sum of money.
