A Coral Springs woman who worked at a Miami doctor’s office as a payroll manager is accused of stealing $1.5 million by overpaying herself and spending company funds on personal expenses.

Detectives with the Miami Police Department arrested 40-year-old Rachel Poor at her Coral Springs home on May 21 on charges of organized scheme to defraud, grand theft and credit card fraud, records show.

Her arrest comes nearly two years after the orthopedic surgeon in charge of Miami Back & Neck Specialists reported to police that Poor, his former payroll manager, had defrauded the business for years, according to an arrest affidavit.
