A former plant manager for Integrity Foods in Athens has been arrested and charged with 15 felony warrants including 14 counts of ID fraud and one count of theft by taking.

James Henderson Kennamer was fired after company officials discovered he was creating false records of employment for former employees and had their checks direct deposited into accounts under his control leading to a suspect loss of $3 million.

According to police, the thefts are believed to have occurred over a six-year period, a time disclosed when the company began receiving letters from Social Security about those employees receiving money after they no longer worked for Integrity.
