Embezzlement is no longer a recognized crime in Weld County, Colorado, but is now included within the category of theft. The statute regarding embezzlement was changed in 1967, when the government combined embezzlement with larceny and other crimes. This category is called: Theft Crimes - C.R.S. 18-4-401 (the statute that combined these crimes is labeled Statutory Intent – C.R.S. 18-4-403). Before the law changed, larceny and embezzlement were considered different offenses. The law was altered to allow the prosecution to charge a person with theft regardless of the state of the stolen items or funds to lessen confusion about the different technicalities related to theft.
