Anthony Ferguson, 37, of Holtsville, was arrested after an East Moriches business owner reported money being embezzled from his company over the course of five years.

A joint investigation by Financial Crimes Unit detectives and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office determined that Ferguson deposited more than 200 checks into his personal bank account, totaling $443,841.
